Creeping Thyme (Thymus serpyllum) is a hardy, low-growing perennial herb that forms a dense mat of aromatic foliage topped with clusters of tiny pink to lavender flowers in summer. This fragrant ground cover is perfect for pathways, rock gardens, borders, and between stepping stones.
Growing just 2–4 inches tall and spreading 12–18 inches or more, Creeping Thyme tolerates light foot traffic and releases a pleasant herbal scent when walked upon. It is drought tolerant once established and thrives in sunny, well-drained locations.
Its nectar-rich blooms attract bees and other pollinators, making it an excellent addition to pollinator gardens and herb plantings.
