Pizza Thyme

Pizza Thyme (THYMUS nummularius) is an exceptionally robust and aromatic creeping groundcover that combines ornamental beauty with classic herbal utility. This variety features small, rounded, glossy green leaves that form a dense, weed-suppressing mat just inches off the ground. In mid-summer, the foliage is covered in a carpet of tiny lilac-pink flowers that are a magnet for local bees. While highly decorative in rock gardens and between pavers, its leaves possess a rich, savory aroma reminiscent of classic Italian herbs.Grown to professional standards, this Thyme features a vigorous Professional Grade root system designed for rapid spread and soil stabilization.
