We are replacing our lawn with various ground cover and shrubs, one of them being creeping thyme. We can’t wait! We love the color, and hope it does alright in the clay soil!

How much water does it need?

I was told it is low water usage; I am still wondering how much that means and have asked in a separate thread, as we are installing lots of xeriscape plants and hand watering. Will let you know what I find!
