Thymus serpyllum 'Elfin'
Elfin Thyme
Watch video on YouTubeImagine dwarfing other creeping Thymes? The teeny tiny aromatic leaves form a tight carpet to 1” and produce lavender flowers in summer, gradually filling in between rock crevices or stepping stones. Attractive cascading out of containers filled with other perennial or herbs, ‘Elfin’ is evergreen and tolerant of poor sandy soil. Excellent drainage is a must and full sun is preferred.
