Thymus pseudolanuginosus
Thyme-WoollyOne of the best creeping thymes to use as a lawn substitute; tolerates moderate foot traffic. This fast-growing species forms a dense carpet of extremely fuzzy, olive green leaves that, unlike its cousins, are not fragrant or of culinary value. Pink flowers appear in summer, though its unique foliage is the main attraction.
