Thymus serpyllum ‘Albus’, commonly known as Creeping White Thyme, is a charming mat-forming evergreen that brings both beauty and fragrance to your garden. Its aromatic, dark green foliage forms a dense, low carpet that releases a delightful scent when touched or walked upon. In summer, it produces masses of pure white flowers that attract bees and pollinators, creating a soft, cloud-like effect across the ground.
This hardy and drought-tolerant thyme is perfect for filling gaps between paving stones, rock gardens, or sunny slopes. Low-maintenance and long-lived, Creeping White Thyme thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it a practical yet elegant choice for adding scent, texture, and charm to outdoor spaces.
