Thymus ‘White Buttons’

Common Name:
Creeping White Thyme

Description:
Thymus 'White Buttons' is a low-growing, evergreen perennial ground cover prized for its aromatic foliage and profusion of pure white flowers. Forming a dense, mat-like carpet, it is ideal for filling spaces between pavers, cascading over walls, or softening the edges of garden beds. Flowering from late spring through early summer, it attracts bees and other pollinators, enhancing garden biodiversity. This hardy plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, exhibiting excellent drought tolerance once established. Its resilience and low-maintenance nature make it a valuable addition to Melbourne gardens, particularly in rockeries, herb gardens, and containers.
