Creeping Thyme Collection

All of our creeping thymes prefer a light well drained soil in a sunny position, or a container filled with a well drained compost. They are excellent for paths, banks and rockeries, also at border edges and trailing over walls. They are ideal for tubs and containers placed in a hot dry sunny spot.

All thymes are perennial and evergreen so you can create a permanent planting with interest and colour throughout the year.

Create a real centrepiece of colour and a haven for butterflies and bees
when these thymes are in flower.
