Thymus paecox - Elfin Thyme
The TEENIEST Thyme! We're always being asked for groundcovers, & it's hard to find any that we can really get behind. Either they're too invasive, or too hard to grow, or they're just plain old boring. we really have affection for this diminutive Thyme, & it works exceptionally well as a groundcover without eating up all of your garden space. When planted between pavers, it will eventually fill in densely, & is great for any spot in your garden where you just want something low, green, & well behaved. Flowers are small & pink, attractive to our friends the honeybees, & the overall habit is very low & flat. It's a drought tolerant plant, but watering will help it spread faster to fill in. Tolerates many soil types, including heavy clay, can be used as a culinary herb, & YES, you can walk on it if you want to! Please be gentle, though.
