This bushy plant is highly valued for its lemon-scented, grey-green foliage and vibrant pink flowers, though it requires specific attention to soil drainage to prevent root issues during wetter seasons.

Thyme Pseudolanuginosus produces pink flowers from May through June.
While this is a variety of Thyme, it is primarily marketed as an ornamental ground cover; check specific labels if you intend to use it for culinary purposes.
Divide large clumps in early spring as needed, typically every 2-3 years, to maintain health and vigor.
Thyme generally prefers leaner soils and does not require heavy fertilization; too much nutrients can cause weak, leggy growth.
Yes, as long as the pot has excellent drainage and the plant is kept in full sun.
This often happens if the plant isn't pruned regularly; trim back hard after flowering to encourage new, dense growth.
Check soil drainage immediately; the plant is likely sitting in water, so consider moving it to a drier spot or adding grit to the soil.
To ensure success, plant your Thyme in a position that receives full sun and utilizes soil that is neutral to alkaline with excellent drainage. Avoid heavy clay soils that retain excess moisture. For long-term care, prune the plant back hard using garden shears immediately after the flowering season finishes in June to maintain a compact, bushy habit. If you notice your clumps becoming too large or center-heavy after a few years, perform a division in early spring to rejuvenate the plant and expand your garden coverage.
