Creeping thyme, also known as Thymus serpyllum, is a low-growing perennial herb that adds beauty and fragrance to gardens and landscapes. This herbaceous plant features small, round leaves and produces clusters of delicate flowers in shades of pink, purple, or white.

Creeping thyme is well-loved for its ability to form a dense groundcover, spreading across the soil with its trailing stems. It is highly resilient and tolerates various soil conditions and drought. Besides its aesthetic appeal, creeping thyme is also utilized for its aromatic properties, often used as a culinary herb or as a groundcover in rock gardens, between pavers, or along garden borders. Its pleasant fragrance and low-maintenance nature make it a popular choice for gardeners seeking a versatile and attractive groundcover.
