Planting Creeping Thyme

Today we will be talking about Creeping Thyme, the blooming evergreen ground cover solution. Every garden needs some Creeping Thyme. Yes, it's the herb called thyme, but our recommended species of thyme, there are lots of them, are not for using in cooking. It's for using in the garden for a beautiful, easy to grow, perennial, evergreen, ground cover. And as a bonus, it gives you a carpet of beautiful, tiny, pink flowers of late spring into summer with the bonus of a lemony scent.

This Creeping Thyme, botanically called Thymus Serpyllum, with the common name of Pink Chintz, is winter hearty and zones four through nine. It spreads over rough spots, keeps weeds down, cascades over embankments, and asks nothing more than just some good sun and water in dry spells. The plants like good garden soil, not heavy clay or sand. They like full sun, but can handle some partial shade, too. Plant in spring, but wait until the temperatures reach about 60 degrees or higher. Once you're ready, just scatter the seeds where you want them to grow. Don't bury them, but be sure to press down the dirt for that all important seed to soil contact.
