NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Creeping Thyme is easily divided in spring or early fall, and even small pieces will take root and grow.
