Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Woolly thyme is a low-growing plant with tiny fuzzy, grey-green leaves. In late spring, it is covered by small pinkish-purple flowers. Never growing taller than 1 inch, it is a great plant for rock gardens or in between flagstone steps.
Woolly thyme has produced variable results at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. It grows well in protected locations, especially those that have persistent snow cover during the winter. However, in open, dry sites it often dies back over the winter. It seems to grow best at higher elevations or with regular winter watering.
Winter watering will help prevent dieback in areas with no persistent snow cover.
