Looking for a tough, low-growing groundcover? Creeping Thyme (Thymus praecox ‘Coccineus’) might be just what you need!
☀️ Sun: Full sun, 6+ hours daily
💧 Water: Drought-tolerant once established-keep it on the drier side
🌱 Soil: Well-drained, sandy or rocky soil
📏 Size: 2–4" tall and spreads 12–24" wide
🌸 Blooms: Pinkish-red flowers in late spring and summer
🐝 Bonus: Aromatic, deer-resistant, and great for rock gardens!
Creeping Thyme spreads along the ground and can create a beautiful, dense carpet of greenery and blooms.
