Thyme prefers a sunny spot. In moderate frost, it is recommended to cover the plant in the open ground with conifer branches, for example. After flowering in June, the plant should be pruned back slightly.

This plant not only brings fragrance and color to the garden, but also helps biodiversity. The small flowers are full of nectar and attract plenty of bees, bumblebees and other pollinators. Because thyme blooms long and can withstand drought well, it remains a valuable food source for insects even during warm periods.
