It forms dense, 1 to 2 inch high mats of tiny glossy leaves and equally tiny violet-lavender flowers. What the flowers lack in size they make up for in number when covering the fragrant grayish blue-green foliage in summer. This little creeping thyme is a tough one; quite tolerant of foot traffic, is drought and heat tolerant and deer and rabbit resistant. All these fine attributes make Elfin Thyme a fine selection where a ground-hugging perennial groundcover or filler plant is needed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing in a very low and spreading carpet to only 1 to 2 inches tall and 24 inches or more wide over time, Elfin Creeping Thyme is perfect for use to fill the gaps between stepping stones and pavers or as a groundcover or underplanting for shrubs, roses, perennials and small trees, such as Japanese maples. Very nice around and growing over boulders. Flowering bulbs will pop right through it in spring. Also serves nicely as a soil cover in container gardens grown above ground. A fine addition to rock gardens, purple theme gardens, cottage gardens, Asian theme gardens, and the Xeriscape (low water needs).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTip: \u003c\/span\u003e When planting between closely spaced stepping stones or pavers the root ball of some creeping thymes can be divided so as to fit in to the smaller gaps.

It grows best in light, lightly moist to dry well-drained soil and full sun. A little shade is okay. Will tolerate rainy periods but constantly soggy or wet soil is a killer.
