Thymus praecox Albiflorus

Thymus praecox Albiflorus Details

Thymus praecox Albiflorus, commonly known as White Creeping Thyme or White Moss Thyme, is an herbaceous perennial grown for both its foliage and creeping growth habit. The leaves on this evergreen are small and dark green and held on stems that creep across the ground. The foliage serves as a wonderful backdrop to the masses of small, white flowers in summer. It grows to just 5 cm tall and will spread to 40 cm wide. It performs best when planted on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade, protected from heavy frost. Thymus Albiflorus is commonly included in herb gardens, used as a lawn substitute, planted between pavers or rocks, mass planted as a groundcover, or positioned so it can trail over a wall or the like. A mass planting suits this variety of Thyme.
