Low thymes sprawl across the ground and are up to 3 to 4 inches tall. They're too tall to place between paving stones, but can be used next to paths or in beds. |
cilicicus
| Bought from Siskiyou Rare Plant Nursery. Leaves densely packed together, with a flower head atop fuzzy bracts barely peeking above the congested foliage. Slow-growing. Images: scanned image. |
'Clear Gold'
| Probably the same plant as the thyme known as 'Transparent Gold'. I got my plant several years ago from Companion Plants; it has disappeared under an onslaught from one of the more rambunctious thymes. |
'Doone Valley'
| This is the strongest-scented lemon thyme I know, and it's longer-lived as well. 'Doone Valley' has a shrublike form but is too small to put with the true shrubs. In winter, leaves are splotched with bright gold; during spring the gold darkens to deep green. One of my favorites. Images: whole plant. |
'Long Leaf Gray'
| One of the more rambunctious sprawlers, but can be short-lived. I'm on my second generation of this plant, after the first bloomed its heart out one year, only to die soon after. Images: whole plant and another. |
