I have creeping thyme in an area that gets intense sun from 1 till 5 or so...ya think that is enough sun for it???
I have THYMUS serphyllum Alba.
Creeping thyme
Should have added that is NOT a pic of mine...my thyme is nowhere near that big.
Wow, really??? No ideas from this chatty bunch???
I have creeping thyme in full sun and a couple that only get morning sun. The ones that get the full sun have done abit better(spread quicker). Hope this helps. :-) Maybe someone in Herbs forum could have better answers.
Thanks Sandy!
Maybe that's why mine petered out - not enough sun. Other than that , not much help.
My thyme was planted next to the house sun 2-6 and doesn't grow too crazy, not quite doubling in size every summer for the last three years. however it has become very woody.
I would think that would be fine since it is afternoon sun. Sorry I don't have anything definitive!
Sure, I have lots of thyme that gets less direct sun than that! I mow mine to keep it looking neat.
By the way, if you want to plant thyme near a garden walk, use Mother of Thyme ( T. serpyllum) as an edging. It is shorter, and blooms a little earlier.
