thyme, white creeping

latin name: thymus serpyllum var. coccineus

zone: 3-8
type: perennial
light: full sun or partial shade
height: 2-4”  (5-10 cm)

description:   Tiny leaves, white flowers and a creeping habit make this plant excellent as a ground cover or for use in between paving stones.  Nice addition to a white-themed garden.

harvest:  Pick sprigs just before plants blooms and hang to dry.

uses:  Great for dried flower crafts, sachets and potpourris.  Leaves are a milder flavour than the ‘thymus vulgaris’ and hence can be used in culinary dishes where you desire a less intense thyme flavour.
