About Creeping Thyme

Low-growing creeping thyme, sometimes referred to as Breckland Thyme or Wild Thyme, forms a dense, fragrant ground cover with tiny purple blooms. Drought-tolerant once established and highly pollinator-friendly, it’s ideal for naturalized areas, walkways, slopes, and other sunny sites where low maintenance and visual appeal are the goal.

Plant in spring or early fall.
