White Creeping Thyme (Thymus praecox ‘Alba’)

White Creeping Thyme is a low-growing, aromatic perennial valued for its delicate white blooms and dense, spreading habit. This cultivar of Thymus praecox is known for forming a soft, fragrant carpet that adds both beauty and function to the landscape.

This herbaceous perennial forms a tight mat of tiny, dark green leaves that release a pleasant fragrance when stepped on or brushed. In early to mid-summer, it becomes covered in small white flowers that attract pollinators such as bees, creating a light, airy display.

White Creeping Thyme is well-suited for groundcover, pathways, rock gardens, and between stepping stones. Its low profile and spreading nature make it ideal for filling gaps and softening hardscape edges.
