Description

Woolly Thyme is an herbaceous perennial used as a groundcover, as it creeps and hugs the ground to 12' wide. Tiny, pale pink flowers bloom during the summer. It likes well-drained soil and can tolerate desert heat if given afternoon shade. It looks great between pavers as it tolerates foot traffic. It makes a nice lawn substitute also. Foliage is fuzzy and gray-green.
