Generalities Thyme
The Thyme should be used for rock gardens, The development of the The Thyme is This plant in the summer assumes a pink colouring; it is small in size and can reach 3 cm high. It keeps its leaves in the winter.

Exposure ThymeSole pieno
For a balanced development, it is best to position the The Thyme in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight. The Thyme usually doesn't have temperature problems during this time of year, because it can bear freezings although not too intense ones.Seeing that the foliage of the aromatic plants is used for alimentary needs, we advise paying attention to the use of insecticides and anticryptogamics: let’s use only those for agriculture and let’s follow very strictly the lacking period written on the label before harvesting these plants.

Watering ThymeTenere asciutto
We suggest watering these plants only from time to time, but we must remember to wet the soil deeply using 2-3 glasses of water every 2-3 weeks . A great part of the aromatic plants are used fresh; during the spring and in the summer it is possible to harvest a good quantity of them, to conserve dehydrated or frozen, to use them during the cold months.

Treatments Thyme
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Soil Thyme
We recommend cultivating these aromatic plants in a soft and light, very well drained, soil.
