Creeping or Mother-of- Thyme

Tarragon
A low-growing thyme variety often used as groundcover.

Growing Environment

  • Soil Texture: Sandy Soil

    Large particles, gritty, excellent drainage, poor nutrient retention.

  • pH Range: 6.1 - 6.5

    Ideal for most plants, especially in loamy soils.

  • Organic Matter: Low (1% - 2%)

    Soils with some organic matter, but still insufficient for optimal plant growth.

  • Salinity Level: < 2 (Non-Saline)

    Very low salinity, ideal for most crops.
    Impact: No adverse effects on plant growth. Suitable for a wide variety of crops.

  • Hardiness Zone: 11B (Min: 45°F, Max: 50°F)
  • Humidity: Low

    Somewhat dry, common in transitional climates.
    Impact: Moderate stress for moisture-sensitive plants; may require supplemental irrigation.

  • Water Requirement: 20 - 40 inches per week

Nutrient Profile

  • Calcium (Ca) (0.35 - 4)

    Strengthens cell walls, improves soil structure and aids in nutrient uptake.

  • Magnesium (Mg) (0.25 - 5)

    Central to photosynthesis, as it is part of the chlorophyll molecule.

  • Molybdenum (Mo) (0.21 - 12)

    Necessary for nitrogen fixation and utilization, and the formation of enzymes involved in plant metabolism.

  • Nitrogen (N) (1.25 - 1)

    Essential for plant growth, promotes lush, green foliage.

  • Phosphorus (P) (0.18 - 2)

    Vital for energy transfer and photosynthesis, helps in root and flower development.

  • Potassium (K) (1.33 - 3)

    Helps with water regulation, disease resistance, and overall plant vigor.

  • Sulfur (S) (0.18 - 6)

    Key component of some amino acids and vitamins, supports overall plant metabolism.
