Fredo Garden Thyme

6-8 tall x 12 wide. Fredo Garden Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) has a full, mounding habit, strong upright stems, and pale summer flowers, make it an ideal candidate for pots that you can enjoy near your home. Make this English thyme a strong feature in your sunny container gardens. Plant Fredo in poor to average soils that are well-drained, and allow plants to dry out between deep watering. Thymus vulgaris does not respond well to wet, cool conditions it will succumb to fungus and defoliation without good ventilation and sun exposure. In the early spring, cut plants back by a third to two-thirds to keep the plant from becoming overly woody. If your winters are very wet, consider placing the plant in a sheltered location. If mulching to keep down weeds, ensure that the crown of the plant is not covered. Great for sunny, dry soils, containers and rock gardens.
