Creeping thyme ground cover is a beautiful, fragrant little plant that is a common sight on the rocky coasts and plains of the Mediterranean region. From a tiny clump of little seedlings comes a spreading mat of scented foliage covered with flowers. Plant Creeping Thyme seeds for excellent coverage and easy use in rock gardens.


T. serpyllum is a mat forming herb that grows to maximum heights of 6" and blooms May to August. Grow in full sun, in well drained soil, with moderate to low water. Use in rock or herb gardens, as an edging along paths or as a ground cover. Creeping Thyme is a slow growing at first, but will soon establish itself as a beautiful ground cover that requires little to no work.


Kipling waxed poetic on its scent on the summer breeze, saying it was "like the dawn of paradise." Though it can be used as a flavoring or herb, creeping thyme ground cover is not the true culinary thyme but rather an undomesticated cousin. In the language of flowers, thyme signifies activity and courage.

~ germination & planting ~


If you want to get a jump start on the Creeping Thyme ground cover plants, sow the seed indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost. Easy to grow from seed though germination is slow taking from 14 to 28 days. Seeding best started indoors in a flat where temperature can be kept around 70°. Sow thyme seed in sterilized growing medium either in shallow rows or scatter on top with little or no covering. After they take root, have been transplanted to 2- 1/4" peat pots and reach a height of 2-3 inches, they may be moved outside to cooler weather. For small gardens, space plants about 9 inches apart, for field production space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart.


Plant Creeping Thyme seeds directly outdoors after frost danger has passed. Prepare a seed bed, loosening the soil and weeding it. Scatter the Creeping Thyme ground cover seeds and press the seeds firmly into the soil. Keep the seeds consistently moist.


Thyme prefers a sandy, dry soil. Avoid planting in heavy, wet soils. Nutrient requirements for Thyme are not heavy, so soil should only receive a moderate amount of fertilizer. (Important to control weeds as they compete for nutrients with the slow-developing young thyme plants.)


~ harvesting ~


Harvest thyme just before the flowers begin to open, by cutting the plant one and a half to 2 inches from the ground. A second growth will develop but this should not be cut at all. This would reduce the plant’s winter hardiness. Although a hardy perennial, thyme plants need care over the winter months to survive the cold.


After harvesting, lay the cut plants on sheets of newspaper or fine screen and allow them to dry in the warm shade. When dry, the leaves will separate from the woody stems easily if rubbed lightly.

Every spring cut thyme plants back to half its previous height to retain the tender stems and bushy habit.

Excellent for my sensitive skin and rosacea
Another excellent product from this brand. I have type 1 rosacea on my cheeks, even when I avoid triggers (like red wine, warm weather, etc.), and very sensitive skin overall. I've been using the cicalfate serum from this brand for the sensitivity, but it didn't help the redness. After two weeks of using this twice daily, I noticed a significant difference. After a month, I had no redness unless I encountered a trigger. Even then, the intensity of the redness seemed less. I tried going without this product for a month when the first bottle ran out, and sadly, the redness started coming back within a cycle of weeks. I've got this on auto-delivery now, along with the cicalfate serum. I never want to be without it!

Best moisturizer for sensitive skin
I have very sensitive skin and have tried many products over the years. This is by far the best daily moisturizer. I don’t wear makeup other than under eye concealer. This keeps my skin looking and feeling great. Not greasy. One bottle lasts about a month. I have probably bought this 10 times in the past year.

Not as good as the antirougeurs cream
I used to use the Antirougeurs cream and loved it but since they no longer make it, I had to switch. I have been using the redness expert cream for a week and it makes my face even redder. I also started to break out. The texture is good but I don’t think it works like the other cream.

Really helps with the redness
Years ago, my dermatologist recommended this line whenever I had a problem with redness. The redness occurs when I spend time outside, even with sunscreen & a hat. When I perspire it irritates my skin & poof, redness. I started using this, once I found it on Amazon, & this really helps to relieve the pain, discomfort & burning sensation. It has a cooling affect on your skin. Until I found this brand I simply suffered until the irritated skin healed. I apply this at night, especially after being outside & sweating & the redness is gone in the morning. I plan to use this until I no longer need it.
