Thyme 'Hartington Silver' reaches a height of just 3 cm it has tiny variegated cream, silver and green leaves, with pretty pale white/pink flowers in the summer, this low-growing mat-forming creeping thyme is an excellent ground cover plant, it is suitable for planting in the rock garden, herb garden or the front of a border, or perhaps plant between pavers or in gravel paths as the aromatic leaves release a lovely scent when trodden on.

These were I lovely condition when they arrived. My only disappointment was that they turned out to have pale pink flowers, whereas some that I bought elsewhere were white, which is what I. prefer in my garden scheme. They. have taken well since planting too.
Excellent plant. beautiful with its variegated leaves.
Sturdy plant - beautiful aroma when it is brushed
excellent for aromatic ground cover
These have taken really well in my border. Their condition on arrival was amazing. Thank you.
