Creeping Thyme
(Thymus serpyllum)

Creeping Thyme is a fragrant, spreading perennial that is native to northwest Europe. Plants form dense mats that create an excellent ground-cover. Creeping Thyme grows four to six inches tall, and the lavender flowers appear just above the foliage. As with many species in the mint family, the flowers of Creeping Thyme attract honey bees and wild bees.
