Elfin Thyme
Thymus praecox ‘Elfin’
Elfin Thyme is a miniature, creeping thyme cherished for its tiny grey-green leaves and delicate lavender-pink flowers that bloom in summer.
About Elfin Thyme and growing it in Alberta
Hugging the ground tightly, it’s ideal for planting between stepping stones, in rock gardens, or alpine landscapes. Exceptionally drought tolerant and low-upkeep, it thrives in sunny, well-drained soils, deer resilient, attracts pollinators, and adds texture and fragrance. Avoid poorly draining sites to prevent root or crown rot.
