My Creeping Thyme isn't flowering

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

I grew creeping thyme from seed in the late winter of 2018 and planted it last spring (2018) It didn't bloom last year which I expected however this year it started coming really growing and expanding this spring. It looks great and healthy but isn't flowering. In my area (zone 6b) others are in full bloom at this time and have been for a few weeks. Can anyone tell me whats wrong? Thanks!

    It is too early for creeping thyme to be flowering.....this is a summer bloomer. Even in my climate, this is a June or July bloomer at the earliest. What you may be seeing flowering now is more likely to be something like creeping phlox or rock cress.
