Thymus 'Albiflorus', commonly known as the white creeping thyme, is an effective evergreen groundcover which brings colour plus a subtle herby aroma to the garden. This hardy perennial forms a dense mat of green foliage, perfect for filling in gaps, softening edges, or even lining pathways. During the summer months, creeping Thymus 'Albiflorus' produces delicate white flowers that add an airy touch to its compact form. Whether planted in rockeries, containers, or between paving stones, creeping thyme provides year-round interest with minimal fuss.
Ideal for sunny spots, Thymus praecox 'Albiflorus' thrives in well-drained soil and offers the added bonus of being low-maintenance once established. When crushed, its leaves release a subtle aroma.

The small, white flowers are just the icing on the cake, providing a lovely contrast to the lush greenery. Thymus 'Albiflorus' is perfect for gardeners seeking a versatile, easy-care plant that enhances both the senses and the garden's aesthetics. Whether used in pots, herb gardens, or simply to cover bare soil in a sunny corner, this white creeping thyme plant is a reliable and attractive addition.

Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
