I'd take cuttings, if no rooted plants are available. I'm looking for a bunch to trail down the sides of a large stacked stone planter.
I have plants to trade and can take cuttings as well. Send me a PM if you have this variety.
Thanks!
WANTED: Creeping Thyme 'Transparent Golden'
I'm far behind on all my gardening at present, so I don't want to make promises I can't keep. However, if you don't find this elsewhere, Dmail me and I'll try to get some out to you before frost here. Hopefully I'll be more caught up in a month. I'd love to say, no problem, I'll pop some in the mail to you on Monday, but that's not realistic... I'm sorry.
'Caraway Thyme' is another nice low-growing creeper with small, deep green leaves and a wonderful scent... I had some growing alternately with my 'Transparent Golden' thyme, and it looked great but got crowded out last year (I have a new plant but it's still smallish). Any of the creeping thymes would work great for the planter you described, and it can be fun to have a variety of them cascading around... are you sure you want to look only for the golden?
Others would be nice to mix in with the golden, but I want to make sure I at least find the golden one. I've been quite behind in my gardening too, so I know what you mean. I've slowed my trading way down this fall due to my work schedule. I'll mail you later in September if I don't find any other offers. Thanks!
Lily, thanks to Critter, I have a path lined with T. Yellow Transparent and can send you a small start tomorrow (plus cuttings), if you like. Hi Critter - this is such a vigorous, beautiful thyme. It took off like no other thyme you shared with me. Thank you.
Karen
I'm glad it's doing well for you, Karen! It's definitely a vigorous one. I took a little start to my MIL a couple of years ago, and by the end of the summer it had covered 3 or 4 square feet around the base of a statue in her rose garden. Another one that's been growing well in a couple of containers for me this summer is the 'Hall's Wooly Thyme' I picked up at DeBaggio's this spring... Did I get a start of that one to you? If not, LMK, and I'll have one for you when I see you.
Thanks, bluespiral. I'll send you a D-mail to see what you'd be interested in from me. I don't think I can send anything until early next week due to my work schedule, but I'm sure I can find something you'd be interested in.
Hi
I would love to have some of this creeping thyme also,, or anykind that has a wonderful aroma ,, Let me know if you have some extra to spare...: )

Hi gals - am sending out boxes to vicki and lily - DH tells me the rumbling I am hearing is construction down at the erstwhile mill and not thunder.
Vicki, we can "talk turkey" about a trade tonight - the day's getting old here.
Critter, what a horticultural detour we've had on our way to scented geraniums, eh? And here I thought this old plant hound was "through" acquiring new plants. Yes, you shared Hall's Woolly thyme - it looks like it's settling in, but it's not making cascades over my stones like T. lanuginosa (another woolly thyme, seems more silvery). I still intend to get your Corsican mint back to you along with some others...
I'll come back to this thread tonight and post what I sent to Vicki - am interpreting "anykind" loosely with regard to thyme. While I'm at it, I'll do the same for Lily.
The trowel and snippers call - Karen
Would anyone happen to have cuttings of Thymus serpyllum alba and 'Pink Chintz'?
Karen
What would you like in trade? Let me know what you are looking for ok.

Vicki - you have d-mail
