Grow creeping thyme in full sun and well-drained soil in a variety of sites including rockeries, raised beds, border edges, window boxes, living walls, green roofs, and shallow pots.
The word "thyme" may also be derived from the Greek word thymos, meaning "perfume."
The plant is fragrant and aromatic.
The species name serpyllum is Greek and means "creeping or trailing growth habit."
The plant is hairy, prostrate, and creeping.
Creeping thyme plants are evergreen woody shrubs that provide good groundcover and offer pleasant, mint-like aromas.
Thyme, including red creeping thyme (shown), possesses excellent mosquito-repelling properties.
