Tips from Fran
Thymus Archer’s Gold is a great garden plant. This thyme is amazing over retaining walls and surrounding rock. Its gold tint is really nice, but the fragrance is one of a kind. It smells more like oregano than thyme!!
**Many of our plants are listed as Not a Good Fit for Kid Traffic/Dog Traffic/Around Pools. These plants will work fine around these spots. However, please keep in mind that many people (and animals) have allergies to bees or fragrances. While the plants may work perfectly in the area that you have determined, blooms may need to be sacrificed, or a different plant may need to be determined in order for the area to be used free of concern.
