Breckland thyme

Breckland thyme, scientifically known as Thymus serpyllum, is a low-growing, evergreen subshrub native to Europe and North Asia. Renowned for its aromatic foliage and clusters of pink to purple flowers, this resilient plant thrives in poor, rocky, and well-draining soils under full sunlight. It is exceptionally hardy and commonly used in landscaping as a decorative ground cover, rock garden plant, or fragrant lawn alternative. Additionally, it has a long history of traditional herbal use due to its antiseptic and soothing properties.
