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.

Leptinella dioica (aka Cotula dioica), commonly known as Bachelors Buttons, is an herbaceous perennial native to New Zealand. It is a creeping and somewhat fleshy plant that bears small and green, fern-like leaves with a touch of bronze. Small, yellow flowers are borne through spring and summer amidst the foliage as it grows to 10 cm tall and 70 cm wide. Leptinella dioica is a great plant to use as a low groundcover, for planting between rocks and pavers, using in tropical gardens, or planting around pool areas.
