description:   Woolly thyme—the woolliest of all thymes—forms a dense ground-covering mat of tiny, densely gray hairy leaves. The foliage has barely any fragrance and is unsuitable for culinary use. In summer, tiny pink tubular flowers appear.  The creeping habit makes this herb an ideal ground cover in garden paths and around stepping stones.  

harvest:  Not suitable for culinary or other purposes.  

uses:  Adds interest and color to rock gardens and garden paths.  Attracts butterflies to the garden.
