Thymus praecox ‘Albiflorus’


White Moss Thyme

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.515.120


There are a great many selections of Thyme grown in gardens, all of them with some degree of spicy fragrance. This flat-growing variety features fragrant light-green leaves, smothered by snow-white flowers in early summer. A slower growing form, but still excellent as a drought-tolerant lawn substitute or for planting between flagstones. Creeping Thyme is easily divided in spring or early fall, and even small pieces will take root and grow. Absolutely beautiful when combined with any of the other creeping purple or red-flowered forms. Attractive to butterflies. Evergreen.
