I’d like something that will spread quickly, does not require mowing, and takes full sun.
Grumpy Gardener:I would suggest commonthyme.
I’ve never seen anything, eating on my sedums.
There’s lots of different kinds.
Some are used as ground covers, they grow just flat along the ground, others grow taller.
They grow into a little moundy shape.
They can be from an inch tall to about 24 inches tall.
They have lots of different foliage colors.
They can be green, yellow, bronze, reddish, plus, they also have very showy blooms.
And, as an extra plus,butterflieslove them.
So, they’re very good plants.
What do they need?
So, they bring a lot of interest to the garden.
Not only do you get the really nice foliage, but you get the benefit of added blooms.
So, there’s a lot of months of interest there for just one plant.
