Creeping Thyme - Mother

Creeping Thyme Mother of Thyme

Creeping Thyme (Serpyllum Mother of Thyme) - A perennial creeping thyme for use between paving-stones or as an edging! Mother of Thyme is an ideal choice for planting between walkway stones or bricks and used as a ground cover. Like other thymes, the leaves are highly fragrant; great to inhale as you are walking along the pathway to the front door!

This prostrate, mat-forming perennial with slim stems is lined with tiny, oval, hairy leaves which tend to be dark green. Clusters of pale lavender flowers appear in summer on plants that reach 2 - 4 inches tall and 24 inches wide. Grow like other creeping thymes, in well-drained soil in full sun. For best coverage as a groundcover, avoid planting in very cold or wet areas. The top photo gives you a good image of this ground cover plant when it is in full bloom. The bottom right pictures is a good photo of the foliage when not in bloom.  In most locations, the foliage will look good even in the winter months.

Shaker Bottles With Lime and Seed Mixture

Seeded Soil

We are now offering shaker bottles filled with seeds and lime mixed together. Simply take off the lid and shake your way to a beautiful new groundcover! Lime improves the pH of acidic soils, adds valuable micronutrients to soil, and helps break down organic matter. In addition, lime is white so it is easy to tell where you have spread the seed. Just sprinkle the mixture over good quality soil, and then gently water to keep seed moist until it sprouts!
