A very pretty Thyme. It transplants well and grows fast. I think it looks nice year round. My information says that it is hardy in zones 4-9.

A very fast-spreading groundcover. Grows almost anywhere, but is not invasive. Easy to shear to maintain size and height. Blooms non-stop for about 4 months in the summer. Add to that the fact that it is tolerent of foot traffic, and it makes a great grass-lawn replacement that never needs care or irrigation.
