Large thyme
Thymus pulegioides
Large Thyme is a low-growing, aromatic perennial herb ideal for rock gardens, borders, or as a ground cover in sunny, well-drained spots. It is very drought-tolerant once established and benefits from a light trim after flowering to keep it compact and bushy. The fragrant purple-pink flowers are a magnet for pollinators and the leaves can be used as a culinary herb similar to common thyme.
