Thymus serpyllum Pink, or Creeping Pink Thyme is a low-growing and strongly scented perennial with dense foliage and a compact growth habit. One of the most intriguing modern uses of creeping thyme is as a lawn substitute. Creeping Pink thyme helps to support native bees thanks to its prolific nectar-rich flowers and its ability to withstand light foot traffic. It is a beautiful Mediterranean herb suited to rockeries, border edges and container gardens, and it can even thrive in balcony gardens. Thyme can be used at all stages of cooking: early for strong flavour in soups and casseroles, late for stir fries and salads or as a garnish for any savoury dish.

This variety is much hardier in cold temperatures than the Italian or French lavender. Apart from the fact that is very attractive to bees and other pollinators, English Lavender is also a deterrent to mosquitoes, borers and fleas.
