Description

Red Creeping Thyme forms a a low and dense carpet of tiny, shiny dark green leaves that become smothered in brilliant crimson-lavender flowers in summer. The 2 to 3 inch high foliage is highly aromatic when crushed. Excellent as a groundcover, between stepping stones and around boulders.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to only 2 to 3 inches tall and spreading to 18 inches or more wide, Red Creeping Thyme tolerates foot traffic well so is perfect for use to fill the gaps between stepping stones or as a groundcover or underplanting for shrubs, roses, perennials and small trees, such as Japanese maples. Very nice around and growing over boulders. Flowering bulbs will pop right through it in spring. Also serves nicely as a soil cover in container gardens grown above ground. A fine addition to rock gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).

Suggested Spacing: 12 to 18 inches apart for mass planting; 10 to 12 inches to fill gaps between stepping stones

Growing Preferences

When planted right and in the right spot, Creeping Red Thyme is easy to grow. It grows best in a light, lightly moist but well-drained soil and full sun. A little shade is okay. Will tolerate rainy periods but constantly soggy or wet soil is a killer. So make sure to plant in a well-drained site.
