Thymus zygis Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Requires a light well-drained preferably calcareous soil in a sunny postition[1, 200]. Succeeds in dry soils. Thymes dislike wet conditions, especially in the winter. A layer of gravel on the soil around them will help protect the foliage from wet soils[238]. Plants are hardy to about -10°c but are best given some protection in the winter, a pane of glass supported above the plant is usually adequate[1]. This species is harvested commercially for its essential oil[218]. The flowers are rich in nectar and are very attractive to honey bees[200]. This is a very difficult genus taxonomically, the species hybridize freely with each other and often intergrade into each other[200]. For further Thymus zygis gardening information |
