Thymus pseudolanuginosus
Wooly Thyme
The tiny, gray-green, wooly leaves of this fragrant herb are soft and appealing. Wooly thyme is a mat-forming perennial that originates from regions in Europe, North Africa and Asia. In early to midsummer these soft, subdued plants produce small clusters of light pink flowers.
Thyme is tolerant of heat and drought and grows best in full sun and sandy, well drained, infertile soil. This species is not as aggressive as other thymes and looks great when planted between stepping stones, in containers, troughs or herb gardens.
