THYMUS PRAECOX HIGHLAND CREAM THYME

Thymus praecox 'Highland Cream'

Highland Cream Thyme  DROUGHT-WISE
Highland Cream Thyme is a unique variegated STEPABLES Creeping Perennial.  Highland Cream Thyme has bright cream and gold foliage with a touch of green in the middle. The flower color can range from hot pink to a soft pale pink, to even white flowers that adorn it in late spring. Exhilarating color makes Highland Cream Thyme a must for entryways and patios or spilling over a retaining wall. This plant needs sharp drainage to succeed. Over watering will impair growth.

Gardening Tips from Fran

Thymus Highland Cream is one of the “newer” thymes on the block.

It has this nice gentle habit, good variegated color on the ground and

the flowers range for white to pink. Nice looking in a container or around roses.

 aka ‘The STEPABLES Lady'

**Many of our plants are listed as Not a Good Fit for Kid Traffic/Dog Traffic/Around Pools.  

 These plants will work fine around these spots. However, please keep in mind that many people (and animals)

have allergies to bees or fragrances. While the plants may work perfectly in the area that you have determined, 

blooms may need to be sacrificed, or a different plant may need to be determined in order for the area to be used free of concern.
