Thymus praecox 'Nutmeg' – Nutmeg Thyme
A uniquely fragrant creeping thyme, Thymus praecox 'Nutmeg' is prized for its warm, spicy nutmeg-scented foliage that releases its distinctive aroma when brushed or lightly walked upon.

In summer, cheerful pink blooms emerge above the foliage, attracting bees and butterflies.
