| I have elfin thyme planted between flagstones. In the summer, it was growing and doing well. Since winter started, a lot of the thyme has died and the rest does not look healthy. Is this normal for winter or is there too much/too little water or something else wrong? |
| Elfin Thyme is one of the best plants to use between flagstones. I have it in my yard and while it does look a little ragged during the winter months, it usually perks up nicely in the spring. Sometimes there's some dieback - I suspect due to poor rainwater drainage but my plants always recover each spring. Wait until March and then clip back any dead stems. Healthy new stems should emerge and in a few weeks the plants should fill out and look nice between the stones. I hope yours performs just as well - only time will tell! |
