Thymus praecox 'Elfin' (Creeping Thyme)

All of the thymes are relatively low growing creepers, but many seem to die out quickly. Thymus praecox 'Elfin' remains attractive, with soft, gray-green foliage that forms a slow spreading, tightly matted mound. This is a perfect plant for between pavers and if you have the patience, it makes a nice lawn alternative. The lavender-pink flowers bloom in early summer and attract bees and butterflies.
