100 Seeds Wild Thyme Thymus pulegioides Herb Groundcover

Wild Thyme is a low-growing, semi-evergreen herb that forms a fragrant, mat-forming carpet of tiny, rounded leaves. It is valued for its ornamental texture, its usefulness as a groundcover, and its adaptable nature in sunny garden spaces.

In the garden, Wild Thyme works well along path edges, in rock gardens, between stepping stones, and at the front of borders where its soft foliage can spill over edges. The leaves can be used fresh in culinary preparations, and the plants support a tidy, naturalistic look when allowed to spread. It may also be grown in containers where its trailing habit can be appreciated.
