Plant details
Creeping thyme is an evergreen subshrub that spreads to form a carpet, giving off a strong aroma when trodden on. It has tiny, finely hairy, mid-green leaves on wiry, trailing stems, and it's covered in masses of tiny purple flowers in summer. Bees love these flowers. Try planting it in crevices in paving.

These pictures clearly show white flowers, when I've tried to buy seeds there only seems to be pink flowered seed available.
