{"product_id":"11111308232","title":"Thyme 'Elfin' - 4\" Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eThyme 'Elfin' (Thymus serpyllum 'Elfin'), also known as Elfin creeping thyme, is a charming dwarf perennial herb in the mint family. This miniature cultivar forms a dense, low-growing mat of tiny, glossy green leaves that release a pleasant herbal fragrance when stepped on. It produces small lavender-pink tubular flowers in summer, attracting pollinators while adding delicate beauty to the garden. Primarily grown as an ornamental groundcover rather than for heavy culinary use, it excels in tight spaces due to its ultra-compact form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nReaching only 1–3 inches in height and spreading 12–18 inches wide, 'Elfin' is one of the smallest thymes available, making it ideal for rock gardens, between pavers, or as a lawn alternative tolerant of light foot traffic. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 4–9 (sometimes listed to zone 8), preferring full sun and well-drained, sandy or rocky soil. Drought-tolerant once established, its main uses include ornamental landscaping, erosion control, and adding aromatic texture to pathways or containers, with leaves occasionally usable as a mild flavoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature Height: 2ft\u003cbr\u003eMature Width: 2ft\u003cbr\u003eLight: Full Sun\u003cbr\u003eWater: Moderate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.rogersgardens.com\/pages\/herbs\" style=\"color: black;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVisit Roger's Gardens Herb Almanac\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* In-Store Pickup Available - Fees May Apply\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roger's Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44170015932499,"sku":"11111308232","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1740\/1449\/files\/Thyme_-_Elfin_cc25f46b-f97d-430a-9d30-1f83d811dbb2.jpg?v=1773167111","url":"https:\/\/www.rogersgardens.com\/products\/11111308232","provider":"Roger's Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
