The thyme with the funny name, Loveyanus Thyme doesn't get a lot of attention in books and magazines, but it is a beautiful ground cover thyme with golf ball size flower heads and soft rather large (for a thyme) silvery pointed leaves. It has a flowing habit that beautifully fills up the empty spaces in the garden.  The Pink Gaura above has been totally surrounded by the thyme as it seeks more ground to spread out onto. Because it blooms in early spring, it makes a particularly nice under planting for Roses.

Uses: Fragrant Ground Cover, Ornamental
