Product Details

This hardy, 6"-tall landscape plant forms dense mats of fragrant foliage with soft lavender blooms in early summer. Drought-tolerant and perennial in USDA zones 3–9, it works beautifully as groundcover in rock gardens, tucked into landscaping, or spreading across larger areas. Deer-resistant, attracts bees, and technically edible, though its flavor is less consistent than culinary thyme, making it best for ornamental use.
