Description

Excellent for both ornamental use in garden beds or containers and culinary purposes in cooking, Transparent Yellow Thyme forms an eye-catching, spreading plant with bright yellow to yellow-green foliage. It works well as a specimen in small garden spaces or grouped or as a border in larger spaces. Also effective to fill the gaps between stepping stones in a path. A colorful soil cover and spiller in container gardens that can be situated on patios and decks or to grow indoors on a sunny windowsill. Abundant clusters of lavender-pink flowers appear above the foliage in mid to late summer that the butterflies and other beneficial pollinators will appreciate. The leaves are useful to flavor soft cheeses, soups, stews, stuffing, poultry, fish, dressings, sauces and even honey. Both dried leaves and flowers are excellent for potpourri, sachets, wreaths and floral arrangements. It thrives in full sun to part shade and, as with other thymes, must have a well-drained soil. 


Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 6  inches tall and spreading 24 inches or more wide, Transparent Yellow Thyme is ideal for use in pots or in garden beds. A nice accent in small garden spaces or in groupings, mass plantings as a groundcover or as a border to line a path, walkways or surround a patio. It can also be used to fill the gaps between stepping stones or as an underplanting for small trees such as Japanese maples. It can be grown indoors with adequate light, such as on a sunny windowsill. A fine addition to herb gardens, culinary gardens, rock gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).

Suggested Spacing:  18 inches apart for mass planting; 36 inches apart for space between plants


Growing Preferences

Transparent Yellow Thyme is easy to grow in a lightly moist but well-drained soil and full sun to light shade. The soil must be well-drained, especially during the winter months. Amend dense clay or other heavy soils to ensure good drainage. Will tolerate rainy periods but constantly soggy or wet soil is a killer. So make sure to plant in a well-drained site! Use a premium potting mix when growing in containers.
