Thyme 'Ruby Glow'

Masses of tiny, jewel-bright flowers erupt all over this Creeping Thyme in late spring or early summer, carpeting your sunny garden in rich color. The blooms are much darker and more richly colored than older varieties, for an absolutely show-stopping effect in borders, along the walkway, between paving stones, and even in windowboxes and other containers! They last for several weeks and are indescribably vibrant!

But the beauty of this groundcover extends far beyond bloomtime. The tightly packed foliage, just 4 inches high, is so fragrant that the lightest touch sends a pleasant wave of spicy Thyme scent wafting through the garden, so be sure to plant this hardy perennial where it will get walked on or brushed by occasionally!

Very resistant to drought, cold winters, poor soils, and shallow soil, this quick grower spreads up to 2 feet wide in no time, and returns for many years of glory. You just can't beat it for low-growing, dependable color and fragrance. Try it beneath Lobelia or Salvia for many months of color!

Space plants about 10 inches apart for a solid carpet of color. 'Ruby Glow' accommodates just about any conditions except wet, poorly drained soil. Enjoy! Zones 4-9.
