General: Easy-to-grow, mat-forming groundcover with tiny, aromatic gray-green leaves and lilac-purple flowers. Thyme grows best in a moist, well-drained soil and plenty of bright sunlight. Avoid overwatering.

Ornamental Uses: Ideal choice for planting between walkway stones, edging the flower or vegetable garden or cascading over rocks or wood in a terraced garden. Its dense spreading habit makes it the ideal ground cover while its rich fragrance and bright blooms add immeasurably to the appeal of any landscape.
