Light lavender flowers appear atop the foliage in summer. Honey bees love the flowers of this thyme plant!
Archers Gold Thyme is excellent use as a groundcover or border along garden walkways, paths, and garden beds, or around rose beds. It is also a cloroful accent in container gardeners. Tolerates light foot traffic.
Very easy to grow, Archers Gold Thyme requires a well-drained average to poor soil. Contantly soggy or wet soil is problematic. Avoid overwatering!
