Thymus serpyllum
Fragrant, walkable ground cover that releases its scent when stepped on. Tiny pink flowers.
Mow or shear after flowering. Tolerates light foot traffic. Great between stepping stones.
Non-toxic to cats and dogs — a culinary-adjacent herb.
Informational only — always check with a veterinarian if you suspect your pet has eaten something it shouldn't have.
Same traditional respiratory folk use as culinary thyme, though the creeping ornamental type is grown mainly as a groundcover — see the Medicinal Herb Garden guide.
Informational only, not medical advice — consult a healthcare provider before using any plant medicinally.
