| One of the best Creeping Thymes for general groundcover purposes. This is a low, creeping species with fuzzy grey-green foliage, occasionally producing soft-pink flowers. A strong grower, ideal as a drought-tolerant lawn substitute or for planting between flagstones, tolerating moderate foot traffic. Woolly Thyme is easily divided in spring or early fall, and even small pieces will take root and grow. Evergreen.

What others say about this plant...
|
This is a top-performing groundcover, always attractive and especially resistant to foot traffic. On the downside, though, it needs dry conditions and won't thrive in rainy climates. And the short spikes of pale pink, midsummer flowers are few and far between.; Larry Hodgson, Perennials for Every Purpose |
