Thymus praecox 'Minor' is valued for its exceptionally low, dense growth and fine dark green foliage. In early summer, countless soft pink flowers create a colourful floral carpet across the plant. This hardy variety is ideal for rock gardens, paving joints, green roofs, and sunny planting areas, where it is eagerly visited by bees.
Watering and Care
Thymus praecox 'Minor' prefers dry, lean, and well-drained soil. Once established, it is extremely drought tolerant and requires watering only during prolonged heat and drought.
