The Mother of Thyme: A Perfect Filler for Between Pavers

When it comes to filling the gaps between pavers, you need a plant that's low-maintenance, easy to grow, and can thrive in a variety of conditions. That's where Woolly Thyme, also known as Mother of Thyme, comes in. This lovely perennial is perfect for filling in between pavers, along garden paths, or covering dry slopes.

Woolly Thyme Plug Trays are available, and they're an excellent way to fill a large area at a low cost. Each tray holds 128 plants, all of which are the same variety, making it easy to achieve a uniform look. This plant is often included in our Flagstone Filler Assortment, which features six different varieties or twelve different varieties.

One thing to keep in mind when growing Woolly Thyme is that it grows slowly and can die out in patches if watering is uneven. Excellent drainage is essential, and regular watering is necessary, especially in hot summer climates. However, with proper care, Woolly Thyme can thrive even in partial shade.

If you're looking for other thymes to use between stepping stones, there are several options available, including Annie Hall Thyme, Elfin Thyme, Highland Cream Thyme, Leprechaun Thyme, Mint Thyme, Pink Chintz Thyme, and White Moss Thyme. However, Woolly Thyme is particularly well-suited for growing in smaller spaces like between flagstones.

Woolly Thyme has a unique appearance, with dark green leaves that are densely packed together. It's often confused with the fast-growing Pink Lemonade Thyme, but it's actually much slower-growing and less aggressive. In fact, Woolly Thyme is rarely used in cooking, as it's not as fragrant or flavorful as other types of thyme.

One advantage of Woolly Thyme is that it rarely flowers, making it a good choice for those who are allergic to bees. It's also a great filler for between pavers or along borders, thanks to its tightly knit growth habit.

In conclusion, Woolly Thyme, also known as Mother of Thyme, is an excellent choice for filling the gaps between pavers. With its low-maintenance requirements and attractive appearance, it's sure to thrive in your garden. Whether you're looking for a unique ground cover or a fragrant filler for your pavers, Woolly Thyme is definitely worth considering.
