Thymus serpyllum, also known as creeping thyme, is a versatile and fragrant evergreen ground cover known for its ability to form a dense, low-growing carpet. This variety is distinguished by its creeping and compact growth habit, making it the ideal solution for filling gaps between patio tiles, embellishing rock gardens, or as a low-maintenance border along garden paths and borders.

Features: Creeping thyme retains its small, leathery green leaves all year round and treats you to an exuberant sea of purple flowers in the summer months. It is extremely hardy, very robust, and has the great advantage of being highly resistant to drought and heat. Unlike many other ground covers, this plant gives off a delicious Mediterranean aroma when touched, and its leaves are also edible. Thanks to its dense growth, it is very easy to maintain and helps to suppress weeds naturally, while at the same time providing an important food source for bees and butterflies.

Thymus serpyllum is a low-growing ground cover that reaches a height of only 3 to 5 centimeters. The plant forms a very dense mat of small, oval, dark green leaves that retain their color throughout the year. During the flowering period in summer, the green carpet is completely covered by a spectacular mass of small, intense purple-pink flowers, providing a lively and colorful accent in the garden.

For optimal growth and flowering, creeping thyme requires a spot in full sun. The more sunlight the plant receives, the more exuberant the flowering and the stronger the essential oils (and therefore the fragrance) develop. The plant has few soil requirements, as long as the soil is well-drained; sandy or rocky soils are ideal to prevent the roots from remaining too wet in winter.

Water requirement icon Water Demand

Creeping thyme is a real survivor when it comes to drought. After planting, the plant needs regular watering to root properly, but once established, its water requirements are very low. Only during extremely long, hot periods does it need an extra drink of water. This makes it an ideal choice for a water-friendly garden and for planters that dry out quickly.
