Thyme is one of the best-known and most widely used herbs, grown as a culinary plant and also used as an alpine plant in rock gardens, patios, as an alternative to lawns and even path edging.
Thymus nitidus 'Peter Davis' is a low-growing, mat-forming thyme, bearing aromatic grey-green leaves and pink flowers in late spring.
Thyme plants thrive in hot sunshine and drought, so grow them in a sheltered spot in full sun and free-draining soil.
