Thyme Creeping [Perennial]

Thyme Creeping [Perennial]
“Creeping thyme” can refer
to one of several woody stemmed perennial species of the Thymus genus that
are good groundcovers for sunny areas.
While not all types are grown as herbs,
they are in the mint family and have a
pleasant scent; most can be used for
cooking. It is closely related to the well known edible herb. Most thyme plants are perennial in moderate climates. While some thyme species are upright and shrub-like, creeping types are low-growing with a vine-like habit. They are principally
grown for the fine texture of their pointed blue-green leaves as they
spread out to softly blanket the ground, but they also produce flowers
of various colors, depending on the type. On mature plants, flowers
usually appear in late spring and early summer. 2-6 in. tall, 6-18 in.
