Thymus lanuginosus

This unusual Woolly Thyme forms a soft carpet of grey foliage with pale mauve flowers in spring/summer.

Place in a sunny situation. Trim back flowers after they have finished and brush away clippings.

Single herb plant in a 15cm Italian terracotta pot, with a matching saucer. Planted in a peat-free compost mix with added vermiculite for extra drainage.
