Thymus 'Elfin' is a miniature, creeping thyme variety known for its dense, low-growing habit and tiny, aromatic gray-green leaves. Reaching only 1-2 inches in height and spreading up to 12 inches wide, it forms a soft, mat-like ground cover that releases a pleasant fragrance when stepped on. In summer, it produces delicate pink to lavender flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Thymus is drought-tolerant and thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.
