Trendy landscape designers like to set flagstone walkways slightly out of step to compel visitors to the garden to stroll through a bit slower. Between the stones, it is in style to grow creeping thyme, Thymus spp., as a very shallow groundcover that relinquishes its delightfully herbal aroma with any misstep. It stays too low to trip on, tolerates a bit of trampling, and needs only minor trimming where it creeps a bit too far onto stones or pavement. Creeping thyme can also be plugged into retaining walls of broken concrete or stone. The grayish green foliage is very finely textured. While the weather is warm, minute lavender flowers bloom in subdued phases that come and go slowly. Some varieties have more pinkish flowers, lighter green foliage or exhibit different aromas.

I always wanted to try it.

The plant or the technique? I happen to like the plant, although I do not find it to be unusually interesting. I was not so impressed by the technique though. Yes, the concept is good, but there are enough aromatic plants to run into in the garden.

Mostly. Although it is supposed to be ‘drought tolerant’, have seen it get crispy if not watered enough.

It gets crispy every summer here.

?! In southern Florida?! I figured that it got crispy only because of the aridity. It does not get very hot here, but humidity is minimal. If it gets crispy there also, it must get crispy anywhere that it gets warm.
