| Mother of Thyme is an ideal choice for planting between walkway stones or bricks and used as a groundcover. Like other thymes, the leaves are highly fragrant; great to inhale as you are walking along the pathway to the front door! This prostrate, mat-forming perennial with slim stems is lined with tiny, oval, hairy leaves. Clusters of pink-purple flowers appear in summer on plants that reach 1/2 to 3 inches tall and 3 feet wide. Grow like other thymes, in well-drained soil in full sun. For best coverage as a groundcover, avoid planting in very cold or wet areas. Pkt is 100 seeds. |
