Don't Skip This Step When Planting Red Creeping Thyme As A Ground Cover
By TIFFANY SELVEY
Before planting red creeping thyme as a grass alternative for your lawn, you’ll need to figure out how to keep this lovely low-growing ground cover confined to your yard.
Red creeping thyme spreads its roots in all directions, producing more vertical growth, which produces more roots, and so on. If unchecked, it can creep into your neighbor's yard.
Concrete borders, like driveways, prevent the plant’s spread, but other areas should be lined with plastic or metal landscaping edging to stop roots from breaching property lines.
