Snowdrift Wild Thyme

Snowdrift Wild Thyme (Thymus serpyllum 'Snowdrift') is a stunning, low-growing ornamental herb groundcover producing a dense, spreading mat of tiny, rich dark green leaves blanketed in late spring with a prolific, breathtaking flush of pure white flowers — creating a spectacular, snow-like floral display that covers the entire plant so completely the foliage virtually disappears beneath a white cloud of delicate blooms. One of the most beautiful and sought-after white-flowering thyme varieties available, Snowdrift delivers an exceptional, early-season floral spectacle in rock gardens, pathway edging, stepping stone gaps, and alpine plantings that is unmatched by any other low-growing ornamental groundcover available for organic garden and landscape designs.

Grown from certified organic heritage stock, each plant arrives with a Professional Grade root system — dense, fibrous, and fully established for vigorous, immediate spreading growth. Snowdrift thrives in full sun with excellent drainage and is highly drought tolerant once established, excelling in rock gardens, alpine plantings, dry stone wall crevices, stepping stone gaps, and xeriscape organic landscape applications. Its spectacular pure-white bloom display, dark green aromatic foliage, outstanding foot-traffic tolerance, and exceptional bee and pollinator value make it one of the most rewarding and visually spectacular low-growing ornamental herb groundcovers available for organic gardens and landscapes of every style and scale.

• Spectacular Pure White Bloom Display — A prolific flush of pure white flowers covers the entire plant so completely that foliage virtually disappears beneath a breathtaking snow-like white cloud — one of the most spectacular early-season floral groundcover displays available in the organic garden.
• Dense Dark Green Aromatic Foliage — Rich, dense dark green aromatic foliage provides a beautiful, year-round foliage carpet that contrasts strikingly with the spectacular pure white bloom display during the peak spring flowering season.
• Foot-Traffic Tolerant Fragrant Groundcover — Dense, mat-forming habit tolerates light foot traffic beautifully, releasing an intoxicating wild thyme fragrance when stepped on — perfect for fragrant pathway edging, stepping stone joints, and herb garden pathway plantings.
• Premier Bee & Pollinator Groundcover — Pure white flowers are outstanding attractors for honeybees, bumblebees, native bees, and beneficial insects during the critical spring bloom season, making Snowdrift one of the most ecologically productive pollinator groundcovers available.
• Exceptional Drought & Alpine Tolerance — Naturally adapted to dry, rocky alpine and coastal conditions, Snowdrift develops strong drought tolerance once established, thriving with minimal supplemental irrigation in xeriscape, rock garden, and water-wise organic landscape applications.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun (6–8 hours daily) with excellent drainage — plant in well-drained to sandy or gravelly soil and water moderately until established, after which minimal supplemental irrigation is needed. Hardy in USDA zones 4–9, growing 2–4" tall with a spread of 12–18". Pure white flowers bloom in late spring (May–June), creating a spectacular snow-like floral display; trim lightly after the main bloom flush to encourage a tidy, compact mat and potential light rebloom later in the season.
