100 Seeds Creeping Thyme Ground Cover Purple Pink Perennial Herb Patio Rock Garden Lawn Alternative
These 100 creeping thyme seeds produce a hardy, aromatic ground cover that spreads into a low, dense mat. Delicate pink to purple blossoms appear from early summer, creating a soft carpet of color while the tiny green leaves release a gentle fragrance when brushed. This perennial herb thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a charming and practical choice for a variety of garden settings.
Use creeping thyme between stepping stones, along pathways, in rock gardens, or as a drought-tolerant lawn substitute. Its petite flowers attract beneficial pollinators, and the compact growth habit forms a beautiful, living mulch that suppresses weeds. Sow seeds on the soil surface, press lightly, and keep consistently moist until germination occurs.
