Gardening Tips from Fran

Thymus Highland Cream is one of the “newer” thymes on the block.

It has this nice gentle habit, good variegated color on the ground and

the flowers range for white to pink. Nice looking in a container or around roses.

**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.
