Default Which thyme

I have just spent several days crawling around restoring an old paved

answer would be lift them and redo the whole path but that is not an
option so I have decided that thyme would be good, which would be the
best variety to use in that situation, low growing presumably but more
advice would be appreciated

Hi Kate,

A friend has a flagstone deck, the cracks are filled with creeping
thyme, just generic thymus serpyllum I think. It's lovely stuff, tough
as old boots (they have kids) and gives off a wonderful scent when you
walk across it. HTH.
