Thymus

(White Creeping Thyme) Praecox Albiflorus

Picture a carpet of tiny, dark green leaves that turns snowy white in early summer, with bees humming over every inch of it. This low, creeping thyme stays around 10 cm tall and spreads about 30-40 cm wide, so it fills gaps between paving stones, edges a path or softens the front of a sunny border. For a dense, buzzing carpet, plan on 9-12 per square metre. Bees and butterflies love the nectar-rich flowers from May till July, and brushing past releases a warm, herby scent. Seasonal changes may affect whether your new green friend arrives in flower.

Give it a spot in full sun, where it grows tight and flowers most generously. Plant it in lean, well-drained soil and mix a handful of grit or sand into heavy clay, because thyme hates wet feet. Water regularly for the first few weeks while it settles in, then only in long dry spells; in pots the soil dries out faster, so check it more often. Trim it lightly with scissors right after flowering to keep it dense and slow down woody growth. It is fully hardy and shrugs off frost, as long as the soil drains well in winter.
