description for "Thyme: Thymus pulegiodes"
Related to Mother-of-Thyme, this easy to grow, cultivated strain of wild French thyme forms a 3- to 5-inch tall carpet of shiny dark green, rounded leaves. When crushed, the pretty leaves release a light aromatic thyme perfume with just a hint of citrus. These low-growing, perennial herb plants fill in over time to make a scented herbal carpet. Use as a verdant ground cover, between stepping stones or rock crevices, and to edge garden beds.
