About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Creeping thyme in this seed listing is identified as Thymus spp. because the photos do not distinguish a single species or cultivar. These low-growing aromatic perennials form flowering mats that suit path edges, rock gardens, borders, and other well-drained ground-cover spaces.
Grow in full sun and sandy, rocky, or loamy soil with sharp drainage. Sow according to the packet directions, keep the surface evenly moist during germination, and avoid persistently wet soil after plants establish.
