Juniper Leaf Thyme is a creeping woody semi-evergreen perennial grown as a groundcover with tiny grey green foliage that resembles juniper and is soft to the touch. Clusters of small bright pink flowers carpet the foliage in summer, attracting bees. Grows best in full sun and well-drained soil. Not used in cooking. Drought tolerant and evergreen in zones 7-9.
