Thyme forms a compact, 5 cm high creeping dwarf shrub. The leaves are fleshy, with a light spicy aroma. It blooms in June-July with small white flowers. Like all thymes, it grows in hot, sunny, open, well-drained, sandy, dry, nutrient-poor soils. It is resistant and well tolerates pronounced dry periods. Due to its low, compact growth, it is often used for planting between stone slabs, creating paths. The resilient thyme growth excellently withstands weight. An excellent nectar plant!
