Thymus serpyllum. Creeping Thyme is a low-growing, aromatic herb that forms a dense, mat-like ground cover. With its small, fragrant leaves and tiny purple or pink flowers, creeping thyme is perfect for filling gaps between stepping stones, in rock gardens, or as a border plant. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is known for its ability to withstand foot traffic, making it an excellent choice for pathways or as an alternative to grass in lawns.
