Woolly thyme is a low-growing perennial herb valued for its dense, mat-forming growth and soft, silvery foliage. It is well suited for rock gardens, borders, and ground cover planting where it can spread gradually across the soil surface. The plant thrives in warm temperate climates and performs best in full sun with well-drained soils.
