Bring color and life to a plain lawn – or grow a fragrant bee-friendly ground cover.

While not native to North America, wild creeping thyme is well adapted to many climates without becoming invasive. This small, colorful wildflower does not compete well with taller, faster-growing vegetation, but it can grow and persist nicely within mowed lawns or as a ground cover in gravel areas and rock gardens.

Slow growing, long-lived, and sun-loving, this small highly drought-tolerant member of the mint family spreads slowly from tiny, woody stems. Without grass competition, it can eventually form a thick ground cover. Within grass, it tends to form smaller and more spread-out stems.

Like other thymes, this is a highly fragrant plant, with abundant small pink flowers that are extremely attractive to many species of bees, and quite a few butterflies (it’s actually one of the few eco-lawn or ground cover plants we know of that consistently attracts many butterflies).

Wild thyme is slow to germinate and start from seed, and can take several seasons before it puts on enough size to start flowering. Once established it is very well adapted to planters, rock gardens, and lawns – it can even be “encouraged” as a total lawn replacement by regular weeding out of grass clumps around it as it grows (we know of a few folks who did this over several years and have entire flowering front yards consisting of creeping thyme.

As a lawn plant or ground cover, creeping thyme is tolerant of light foot traffic, but on its own, it is not sturdy enough to withstand heavy play or pet trampling. To use it in a diverse “wild lawn” we recommend companion planting with various fine leaved fescues (e.g. sand, red, western, Molate, Roemer’s, Idaho, and hard fescues), prairie junegrass, seashore bentgrass, and other mowable low growing wildflowers (yaak yarrow, golden-eyed grass, self heal, and various clovers).

Wild thyme can be introduced into an existing lawn by first mowing the grass as low as possible (i.e. “scalping” it), then removing the clippings. Next a core aerator (which can be rented at many hardware stores) is used to create openings in the turf. Thyme (and other wildflower seeds) can then be over-seeded across the lawn.

Hardy from about zone 3 to 10, and very tolerant of poor soils.

Approximately 2000+ seeds (0.5 grams).

Great for adult faces too
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Advertised for babies but this is my go to sunscreen for my face, especially when traveling. It is a stick so doesn't have to go in your liquids bag for TSA. No worrying about it leaking either. Easy to use, and works well. It does leave a whitish cast but that helps me make sure I got every spot covered. Would rather have a whitish cast then end up red with sunburn.

Tear Free and No Sunburn
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This stick is pretty small, but great for carrying with you. It does not glide very well across the skin, however, my son's eyes are very sensitive and it prevents it from gliding too far over and risking burning his eyes. Spreading with fingers afterwards is always a good idea, leaves a bit of a cast but I am very fair so not too bad, easy for reapplication as well. The only major drawback is how drying this product is to the skin, not immediately, but over the course of several days. Not sure if that is all 100% zinc oxide products, or if this one is just lacking in something. Overall a good safe option for little faces that is tear free and wont run or burn eyes, and that works against UV.

Sun care for Babies.
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great scent, coverage, and good on sensitive skin. My grand daughter is a blond, peaches and cream complexion, the sunblock works. No sunburned nose or cheeks this summer. We applied a swipe about every 90 min and it works for us. The little one has sensitive skin and we try to protect her completely. This product is now part of her sun care regimen. ( I even applied it to her hair part and ears)

I love sticks. Convenient and no product runs.
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Purchased for my toddlers 3 - 5 years old faces. Easy to apply. Doesn’t break out or irritate skin. Prevents sun burn if you apply About 30 mins before water play or outdoor play in heat. Doesn’t bother their eyes. I like the sticks so I can smooth over face and cheeks with out the sun screen running. Good stuff.
