creeping lavender thyme
Searching for the perfect ground cover that’s as beautiful as it is practical? Creeping lavender thyme is a fragrant, low-maintenance perennial that brings subtle colour, texture, and pollinator-attracting power to your garden. Well known for its aromatic foliage and dainty lavender-hued flowers, this thyme variety thrives in New Zealand conditions, weaving gracefully between pavers and softening the edges of garden borders. If you want a drought-tolerant, evergreen plant that bursts into bloom in late spring and summer, creeping lavender thyme deserves a place in your landscape design.
Liriope spicata (Creeping Lilyturf)
Liriope spicata, commonly known as Creeping Lily Turf, grows as a clump and produces arching, strap-like, dark green leaves. Short stems carrying masses of tiny, pale lavender-white flowers emerge amidst the foliage during summer. It typically grows to 45 cm tall and the same wide, but will spread to colonise a much larger area over time. Liriope spicata is an excellent choice for cottage gardens, border plantings, or as a groundcover.
