Planting, Creeping, Thyme, And PHLOX On A Hill Slant In Full Sun When Do You Plant Them?

Question

We live in the country we have deer and rabbits neighbor has beehives. We love the bright colors. Can you put both of these types of plants or do you just choose one? They would be in full Sun. We live in northeast Ohio. When is the best time to plant them? Do you sell the seeds. We are having an above ground pool installed, and the grass will no longer be able to be cut on the slant of the hill. Do you have any suggestions?

Answer 1

Spring or fall is the best time to establish a thyme groundcover. Seeds will be slow but can be done. (We don't sell seeds but we have partners in a garden shop: https://shop.gardeningknowhow.com/c/seeds/herbs) You may want to buy the seeds in bulk.

Here is info about the groundcover phlox. If you have a large area, you may want to use both in a design, such as phlox on the outside, thyme on the inside, for example.
