Product description
Boasting attractive silver-green foliage edged with creamy white margins, Thymus Silver Posie is a fragrant evergreen Thyme that brings year-round interest to baskets, containers, and patio spaces. Also known as Silver Variegated Thyme, this neat-growing variety has a bushy growing habit and small leaves that release a fresh aroma when touched. Small pale pink flowers appear in summer, adding a pop of colour while the foliage continues to provide texture throughout the year.
This hardy perennial thrives in a sunny position with free-draining compost and is well suited to baskets, patio containers, and outdoor planting areas. Water Silver Posie Thyme regularly while it establishes, then allow the compost to dry slightly between waterings. A light trim after flowering helps maintain its compact shape and encourages fresh aromatic growth, keeping the plants looking healthy and neat throughout the year.

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.
