Creeping Thyme can handle being walked upon and is primarily grown as a low-maintenance ground cover, filling in spaces quickly. A sea of lavender-pink flowers arrives mid-summer completely covering the plant, attracting bees and butterflies. Useful for borders, rock gardens, and stone path plantings. Grows to 6”.

Winter Sowing
I love ordering my seeds from Pinetree. They are nicely packaged and arrived on time. I just planted them so I cannot tell you right now how they are doing as it is still winter, but when Spring comes around and it starts growing, I can let you know then.
