In early summer Creeping Thyme covers the floor of your garden in a sea of magenta or lavender-red and lavender-purple. A low, mat-forming plant with fragrant foliage as well as beautiful blooms, it is easy and irresistible in any sunny setting. Just a few inches high, the plant is densely covered with tiny, dark green, shiny leaves that are intensely aromatic when crushed—plant them between paving stones and enjoy their fragrance every time you pass by. You'll find yourself in wonderland with the thick carpet of fragrant vivid blooms carpeting your garden. Evergreen in the South, semievergreen in the North. Plant 6-8 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil. They will start blooming in late spring, reaching 8-12inches wide and only a couple of inches tall. Thymus or thymon is Greek for "courage." Through the centuries it has been used for traditions relating to this theme. Roman soldiers bathed in thyme water, European knights carried thyme tokens. Other folklore talks of thyme as being the home of fairies.
