THYMUS SERPYLLUM ELFIN THYME

Elfin Thyme DROUGHT-WISE

Thymus serpyllum Elfin is one of our best sellers and is

included in our Tough Ten STEPABLES Creeping Perennial line!

This Miniature Thyme forms a tight solid mat of gray/green

foliage that is a perfect choice for a lawn replacement.

Elfin Thyme is simply gorgeous when in bloom with its light pink flowers covering

the green-gray foliage completely in summer.

It creates a versatile groundcover that will cover dry slopes,

fill in between stepping stones or creep over a rock.

This plant needs sharp drainage to succeed. Over watering will impair growth.

Gardening Tips from Fran

Thymus Elfin has become one of the best lawn substitution plants we offer in the STEPABLES Creeping Perennial program.

We added it to our Tough Ten program because...well, it is just that good! It is slower than all of the other Thymes in growth speed.

Elfin Thyme stays put and doesn't take over your garden. Low to no maintenance!

Yep! it's a good one!!Plant closer together to get a faster fill in time and you will be happy with your results.

It tends to be a heavy feeder and general liquid fertilizers work best throughout the

growing season from March through June.

This is indeed a true Fairy Garden Plant if I ever saw one!
