Thymus serpyllum.

Creeping thyme — also known as wild thyme — is a small marvel of sunny ground. This creeping perennial plant forms a dense, perfumed carpet that delicately hugs stones, paths and dry soils. Its tiny tender-green leaves release a warm, aromatic fragrance at the slightest brush, evoking at once wild hills, honey and Mediterranean herbs.

In early summer, wild thyme covers itself in a multitude of small pink to purplish flowers that draw bees, butterflies and other pollinators. Its low, spreading habit makes it an excellent natural ground cover — as beautiful as it is resilient. It admirably withstands drought, poor soils and even light foot traffic, while asking very little upkeep.

Hardy and full of character, creeping thyme brings a wild, poetic atmosphere to rockeries, borders and natural gardens. We love it as much for its discreet beauty as for its ancestral culinary and medicinal uses. Its powerful perfume recalls the landscapes of garrigue heated by the sun, where earth and aromatic herbs blend in the warm summer air.
