DESCRIPTION: There are a great many selections of Thyme grown in gardens, all of them with some degree of spicy fragrance. This is a very low, bun or tuft-forming variety.

A slower growing form, but still excellent as a drought-tolerant lawn substitute or for planting between flagstones and in the rock garden.

 Available in 3.5" pots & 1 quart pots
