Creeping Thyme

Sometimes called mother-of-thyme or wild thyme, creeping thyme is shorter and has a milder flavor than the more famous variety with which it shares a name.

Why We Love It

Forget lawns-- creeping thyme is a drought-tolerant, bee-friendly ground cover that smells incredible and can handle being walked on.

Requirements

Give it the time of its life by keeping it in well-drained soil with some sun each day.

A centuries old remedy, creeping thyme is used to improve mouth health, relieve respiratory ailments, alleviate headaches, and to soothe the digestive system.
