Creeping Thyme
Thymus praecox 'Coccineus' This evergreen perennial makes an excellent summer blooming ground cover. Maturing at 3" or less in height makes this a great choice for plant beds needing color without height. Creeping thyme prefers well-drained soil and some light afternoon shade. The pleasant fragrance adds to the allure of using this ground cover in the landscape. *Deer Resistant* Attracts: Butterflies & other Beneficial Pollinators Photo courtesy of Toms Creek Farm & Nursery in Farmer, North Carolina Ornamental Characteristics Category Flowering Perennial / Ground-cover Foliage Type Evergreen Height 2"-3" Spread 10" Shape Ground-cover Primary Foliage Color Green Seasonal Foliage Color Green Flowering Season Early to Mid Summer Flower Color Deep Pink Environmental Characteristics Growth Rate Moderate Sun Preferences Full Sun and Partial Shade Water Preferences Average: Ensure planting area provides good drainage.
