Description
A common name is mother of thyme, but “creeping thyme” and “wild thyme” may be used where Thymus serpyllum, which also shares these names, is not found. This thyme has a strong scent similar to Oregano. It can be used in cuisine and herbal medicine for breathing problems, kidney and bladder problems and more.
Commonly found in grassland habitats, the purple flowers produce low-growing mats and are hardy plants.
