Description

Woolly Thyme is an herbaceous perennial used as a groundcover, as it creeps and hugs the ground to 12' wide. Tiny, pale pink flowers bloom during the summer. It likes well-drained soil and can tolerate desert heat if given afternoon shade. It looks great between pavers as it tolerates foot traffic. It makes a nice lawn substitute also. Foliage is fuzzy and gray-green.

Water Saving Tip:

Make sure ponds and water features aren't leaking, splash out is minimized, and water for streams and waterfalls is recirculated.

Keeping water surface areas small and partially shaded will also reduce evaporation.
