Create a beautiful living carpet with Minus Creeping Thyme, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its tiny aromatic evergreen leaves, ultra-low growth habit, and charming summer flowers. Thymus 'Minus' is one of the smallest creeping thyme varieties, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, fairy gardens, alpine plantings, between stepping stones, borders, and containers. Its nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Thymus 'Minus' thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Its dense mat of miniature foliage provides year-round texture in mild climates while suppressing weeds and filling small spaces beautifully. During late spring and summer, tiny lavender to pink flowers bloom above the foliage, creating a colorful display that supports pollinators. Once established, this drought-tolerant perennial requires minimal maintenance.

You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Thymus 'Minus' starter live plant, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
