THYMUS nitidus

• Age
  • 8th February 2006. 3 put into pots at back step. Purchased over mail order.
• Where it's Growing
  • Full sun position in an exposed area with the house and pergola surrounding them.
• Upkeep
  • Seem to need a fair bit of water and liquid fertiliser.
• Growth Patterns
  • Native to Sicily. Also known as Sicily thyme, where they use it in poultry seasoning.
  • Growing very well spreading out over the pots and rocks. In the short time they have been in the pots, they have tripled in size.
  • Flowers late November until early January.
• Future Notes
  • One of my favourite herbs. Smells beautifully like lemons.
  • I noticed one or two going a bit yellow, so I gave them all liquid fertilisers (26.9.06)
  • 13.8.07- I noticed early one winter morning that these plants were frozen from the cold air. But they are still growing very strong & healthy. They are spreading over their pots nicely.
