Elfin Creeping Thyme (Thymus Serpyllum ‘Elfin’) – 5 Pack Of Pint Pots

---

Growing in a very low and spreading carpet to only 1 to 2 inches tall and 24 inches or more wide over time, Elfin Creeping Thyme is perfect for use to fill the gaps between stepping stones and pavers or as a groundcover or underplanting for shrubs, roses, perennials and small trees, such as Japanese maples. Very nice around and growing over boulders. Flowering bulbs will pop right through it in spring. Also serves nicely as a soil cover in container gardens grown above ground. A fine addition to rock gardens, purple theme gardens, cottage gardens, Asian theme gardens, and the Xeriscape (low water needs).

Tip:  When planting between closely spaced stepping stones or pavers the root ball of some creeping thymes can be divided so as to fit in to the smaller gaps. Just make sure plants have rooted across the soil surface in the pot. If there is only a single stem with branches do not try to divide the plant!

Suggested Spacing:  12 to 18 inches for mass planting;  6 to 12 inches apart to fill gaps between stepping stones or pavers
