Wooly Thyme

Soft Beauty with a Southern Spirit

Wooly Thyme is one of nature’s most charming groundcovers—an herb that’s as practical as it is pretty. With its velvety, silver-green foliage and dainty lavender-pink blooms in summer, this fragrant plant has long been cherished in traditional cottage gardens across Europe. It’s a member of the thyme family, loved not only for its look and feel, but for its ability to thrive where others won’t.

Wooly Thyme flourishes in sunny spots with well-drained soil, making it a wonderful choice for Southern gardens, rock paths, borders, or even tucked between stepping stones. Hardy and drought-tolerant once established, this low-growing perennial spreads gently over time, creating a soft, inviting carpet that looks as if it’s been kissed by morning dew.

At Wrights Market, we love Wooly Thyme for its timeless beauty and hardworking spirit—it’s a plant that’s both humble and elegant, just like the people who care for it.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Full sun

• Soil: Well-drained; thrives in sandy or rocky soil

• Water: Water regularly until established, then drought-tolerant

• Maintenance: Low-maintenance; trim lightly if needed to maintain shape

Perfect for gardeners who appreciate beauty in the details, Wooly Thyme brings a sense of softness and serenity to any space. Whether you’re creating a living mosaic or simply adding a little Southern charm to your landscape, this sweet groundcover is always a graceful choice.
