A charming and highly ornamental creeping thyme, Thymus praecox 'Highland Cream' is prized for its attractive cream-variegated foliage that brightens the garden with year-round interest. Its low, spreading mat of green and cream leaves is fragrant and dense, making it an excellent weed-suppressing groundcover between stepping stones, along path edges, and in rock gardens.
