Thymus vulgaris 'Caborn Wine & Roses' (thyme) is a compact, ground-hugging herb you can use as a fragrant edging plant, rock-garden accent, or small-scale groundcover where you want a tidy mat of aromatic foliage.

In season, you will see clusters of small flowers in pink to wine-red tones that draw pollinators. The foliage stays low and dense, and the plant typically matures to about 2-4 inches tall and spreads about 8-12 inches, making it easy to tuck along a path edge or weave between other low growers.

Give it full sun for the best habit and flowering; it can also handle part shade, especially in hotter climates. Plant it in well-drained soil and avoid constantly wet spots. Once established, you can let the soil dry slightly between waterings, as this thyme is tolerant of drier conditions.

For the cleanest look, lightly trim after bloom or whenever stems get leggy to encourage fresh growth. Harvest by snipping small amounts as needed for cooking, and avoid cutting deep into old, woody stems.

Hardy in USDA Zones 5-9, this is a dependable choice for small spaces where you want fragrance, summer color, and a useful culinary herb in one low, spreading plant.
