Thymus serpyllum Alba
Thymus serpyllum 'Alba' forms a dense mat of small, aromatic, bright green leaves, with clusters of tiny, pure white flowers that create a soft, cloud-like effect above the foliage during summer, offering both texture and a subtle contrast in garden beds.
Cultural
Thrives in well-drained, sandy or gravelly soils and prefers a sunny position with good airflow to prevent mildew. It is low-maintenance, requiring only occasional trimming to maintain its neat, compact form, and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it perfect for water-wise gardens.
Landscape Uses
A versatile, low-growing groundcover ideal for filling gaps between pavers, softening garden edges, and creating a dense, carpet-like effect in rockeries or cottage gardens. Its delicate white flowers attract pollinators, making it a great addition to wildlife-friendly and herb gardens, while its drought tolerance allows it to thrive in dry, sunny landscapes, including coastal and Mediterranean-style plantings.
