If you want a ground cover thyme that works to fill in fast, then choose Caraway Thyme (shown above creeping all over a plug tray). Scented like a Caraway seed, Caraway is one of the few thyme ground covers to have a fragrance. It has deep green leaves that are set about a half inch apart along reddish stems. Caraway Thyme is suitable for planting where it won't be a problem that it grows aggressively. It is not suitable for small spaces like between flagstones. It blooms mid spring and is nice when planted with a later blooming thyme like Coconut Thyme. Caraway Thyme can be used as a substitute for real Caraway in any recipe. It is especially nice in bread or cooked with meat. The species name herba-barona translates herb of beef and refers to medieval times when herbs were frequently used to spice up meat that had gone just a wee bit past its expiration date. |
