Red Creeping Thyme is a very popular landscaping plant due to its versatility and attractiveness. It can be used effectively in between stepping stones, in pathways, in rock gardens, or as an alternative to lawns in low traffic zones. It propagates easily, so it can smooth its hard edges and give a natural, carpet-like appearance. It can also be planted on slopes to avoid soil erosion. The bright flowers provide seasonal color, and its green leaves provide interest throughout the year in the appropriate climates.
