Thymus praecox 'Highland Cream', also known as Thyme 'Highland Cream', is a charming and versatile perennial that enhances any garden with its delicate beauty and practical uses. This variety is celebrated for its attractive, creamy-white foliage that forms a dense, low-growing mat. The soft, pastel hue of the leaves adds a subtle elegance and contrast to garden beds, paths, and containers.

The plant’s aromatic leaves emit a pleasant fragrance, making it an ideal choice for herb gardens and as a sensory addition to your landscape. Thymus praecox 'Highland Cream' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, demonstrating impressive drought tolerance once established. Its compact and spreading habit makes it perfect for use as a ground cover or in between paving stones, where it can provide both ornamental appeal and a subtle herbal scent when brushed against. Incorporating Thymus praecox 'Highland Cream' into your garden will not only offer a touch of elegance and color but also provide a hardy and low-maintenance ground cover. Its adaptability and delightful fragrance ensure it will be a valued addition to any garden, contributing to both its beauty and functionality.
