It does not bloom for me, but flowers are sort of beside the point. I've loved this plant for over 50 years! I have lost it over the winter many times in my mother's 5b garden in Connecticut, but it has withstood the past three very harsh winters in my zone 4b rock garden on an exposed mountain slope in the Catskill mountains.

It is coming back with vigor except for one spot where there has been abused by lots of foot traffic. I planted a large amount of wooly thyme last year and it survived well through one of the harshest winters I've ever seen in Reno.

On Jul 13, 2005, Badger4077 from Victoria, I mulch this bed with straw, then cover with plastic after the first freeze, and my woolly thyme has returned for the last four seasons. It has climbed over the rock to bask in the sun and appears quite happy. I added this little fellow to one of my raised bed, situating it on the edge of the rocked border. ![]() On Oct 2, 2005, Weezingreens from Seward, AK (Zone 3b) wrote: It spreads well and is easy to take starts of.

Great for inbetween rocks, flagstones, etc. Drought tolerant, fast spreader, nice pink flowers, easy to propogate by division of clumps, pleasant feel to the touch, can take moderate traffic.

This is a great spreading groundcover, but I've had mine in for about four years and it's never bloomed.

A few days later we got a 3" rainstorm, and now it looks like it is dead. We planted them on the top of a sloped area, mostly shady. I fell in love with these at the nursery. On Jul 5, 2008, momcat_one from Wappingers Falls, NY wrote: I am sated with my decision to plant them so far. I did lose some when I first planted them, but I figured as a beginner gardener I did alright for myself. I have planted it from full sun to partial shade doing well in all of these. I adore the scents I get and the lovely look to the plant. I have many more to plant, but I am very happy with the results. I planted these to grow some ground cover after I dug out the entire front yard of weeds. ![]() The wooly is the most hardy so far from what I can tell. This is my first year planting thyme in general, which included wooly, elfin, lemon, lime, pink chintz and I think a couple of others.

But I buried some stems and got them to root. Last summer I planted this in a place where it gets shaded by sunflowers, so it grew thin and spindly.

One didn't make it through the first winter but the others did I loved them so I added six more in much better condition. There is a concrete wall about a foot high. I planted six sad-looking, clearance-end-of-the-season plants along the edge of my driveway bed.
