About this Plant
Organic White Creeping Thyme (Thymus praecox 'Albiflorus') is a lush, carpet-forming herb that brings a clean, snowy aesthetic to the garden floor. This variety creates a dense, flat mat of tiny, aromatic bright green leaves that release a refreshing herbal scent when stepped upon. In early summer, the foliage is completely smothered in a "blizzard" of tiny, star-shaped white flowers, creating a stunning luminous effect.
As a durable member of the Thymus genus, White Creeping Thyme is a premier choice for "living mulch" or as a lawn alternative in low-traffic areas. It is exceptionally drought-tolerant and excels at suppressing weeds while providing a vital nectar source for honeybees. Why you’ll love it: Foot-traffic tolerant, suppresses weeds effectively, and provides a crisp white floral display that brightens up rockeries and paths.
Product Details: This Organic White Creeping Thyme is delivered as an established 4-inch live plant in a nursery pot. It stays under 2 inches tall and thrives in full sun.
