Turn Bare Ground Into a Living Garden: Creeping Thyme A fragrant, flowering carpet for paths, edges, and sunny spaces with dry soil.
Gardeners choose Creeping Thyme for a fragrant, flowering carpet for paths, edges, and sunny spaces with dry soil. It works especially well in edging, slopes, pathways, rock gardens, weed suppression, and filling bare ground. Exact colour, mature size, hardiness, and care can vary by species or variety, so the plant tag should always provide the final details.
