Thyme Seeds, Creeping

$3.25

Thymus serpyllum

There are very few ground covers that can be walked on, but creeping thyme is one of them! Beautiful between stepping stones, in rock gardens, or as a foreground planting in borders. Stays between 2" - 4" tall, and every bit as sweet-smelling as full sized thyme. Will produce a lovely mass of purple flowers when grown in full sun, but is also vigorous in full shade, you just will give up some flowers when grown in the shade.
