One of the most popular ground covers, Thymus serpyllum, is a perennial creeping thyme that is perfect for edging the border! Mother of Thyme is an ideal choice for growing between walkway stones or bricks or used as a general ground cover. Like other thymes, the leaves are highly fragrant; and it's wonderful to breathe in the fresh scent as you walk along a garden path! This low-growing, mat-forming perennial with slim stems is lined with tiny, oval, hairy leaves which tend to be dark green. Clusters of pale lavender flowers appear in summer on plants that reach 2 - 4 inches tall and spread to 24 inches wide. Mother of Thyme prefers well-drained soil in full sun. For best coverage as a groundcover, avoid planting in very cold or wet areas. It's an evergreen so it looks nice even during the cold months. Directly sow the seeds outdoors after frost danger has passed. Press the seed into the soil and keep it consistently moist until germination occurs. Germination usually takes place in 21 days when temperatures are 70F.
