It is a very low growing, spreading herb, only getting to a max of 10cm tall. Due to its low growing habit, it is perfect as a ground cover and when in a favourable position it can withstand some light footfall! People often plant it around pavers & steeping stones, or use it to edge walkways. Also a great choice for a rock or alpine garden.
