My creeping thyme is flowering!

3 years ago by nickajeglin to c/greenspace

It's my favorite plant, in the next 2 or 3 years, the entire side of my house by these hostas will be filled with it, and I'm super excited.

I've noticed there are 2 cultivars available in my area. The more diffuse kind in this picture, and a much more compact and shorter version. The one in the pic is incredibly cold hardy, it stays green through zone 5 winters. The shorter version is not hardy, but looks incredible as it drapes over the edge of a pot.

Does anyone else have a big plot of creeping thyme, or any other low ground cover they love?
