(killed all the thyme that was outside in containers), but the sheltered plant came up from the roots. The mild 2011-2012 winter was easier. (It was very close to a 5b/ 6a zone winter)

Though not as vigorous as my lime thyme, I am going to try experimenting with planting it into the ground in some areas to see how well it can survive a zone 4 garden.

Lovely smell. Grows well without much water and in common to rocky soil
