Dwarf Creeping Thyme
Dwarf creeping thyme is a very small plant. Growing just slightly above ground level, it is a tight mat of very tiny, dark green leaves.Pink flowers appear sporadically in early summer and continue throughout the growing season.
Because of its small size it does not make an effective groundcover unless multiple plants are installed. It is a good choice for rock gardens and around flagstone steps.
