Product description
Thymus Archer Gold is a beautiful evergreen Thyme with bright golden-yellow foliage and a naturally low-growing, spreading habit. Also known as Golden Lemon Thyme, it releases a fresh citrus scent when the leaves are brushed or crushed, making it a lovely choice for baskets, containers, and patio displays. Small lilac flowers appear in summer, adding extra interest while attracting pollinating insects to the garden.
This compact Thyme is a great choice for sunny outdoor spaces and thrives in well-drained compost. Water regularly after planting while the plants establish, then allow the compost to dry slightly between waterings once settled. A light trim after flowering helps maintain its neat shape and encourages fresh aromatic growth, keeping Thymus Archer Gold looking colourful and healthy throughout the year.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Adding a thin layer of grit or fine gravel around the base of Thyme helps keep the foliage away from constantly damp compost. It also improves drainage around the crown and gives the basket a natural, Mediterranean-style finish.
How to Water
Water regularly after planting while it establishes, then allow the compost to dry out slightly between waterings. Thyme prefers drier conditions once settled, so avoid overwatering and ensure excess moisture can drain away freely from the basket or container.
How to Plant
Plant Thymus in a basket or container filled with a free-draining compost, placing the plants so their low, spreading habit has room to develop. Firm the compost gently around the base and water well after planting to help the plants settle, then position the container in a sunny spot for the best colour and fragrance.
