Thymus neiceffii 'Juniper' is a rare and refined creeping thyme, prized for its compact habit, silvery-green foliage, and soft, woolly texture that seems to shimmer in the sun like mountain mist. Unlike the more common thymes, 'Juniper' keeps a low profile, spreading gently across rocky outcrops and garden edges with a grace that speaks of alpine heritage. In late spring to early summer, tiny pale lavender-pink blossoms crown the mats, luring bees and butterflies like a whispered invitation. Hardy and drought-tolerant once established, it thrives in full sun and lean soils, making it ideal for rock gardens, borders, and between stepping stones where foot traffic won’t disturb its delicate form.

Whether you're weaving it between flagstones, edging your herb bed, or simply enjoying its aromatic foliage from a garden bench, Thymus neiceffii 'Juniper' offers old-world charm in a modern garden. Its tidy growth and fragrant foliage make it not just a plant, but a presence—calm, enduring, and quietly beautiful. Add this unique cultivar to your collection today and let your garden tell a richer, more textured story. Order now and grow a little piece of botanical poetry.
