Creeping Thyme
Thyme at Chanticleer Garden
Details
All thymes require excellent drainage and prefer loose, dry, even poor soils. They’ll tolerate rich soils if they’re given really good drainage.
Grows 1 to 6 inches tall.
Happy in Zones 5-8.
Care
VERY drought-tolerant, so supplemental watering is rarely required after they’re established.
