Although hardly a meadow plant I have used quite a bit of thyme to fill in the edges of the meadow and grow between the large flagstones winding through the meadow. It is always a good practice to use living groundcovers to prevent weeds from encroaching and Elfin thyme is a great option as it grows incredibly densely. This variety is especially low-growing and produces an abundant crop of pink flowers in May. Elfin is heavily fragrant and releases its fragrance when touched or walked on, adding another dimension to the garden. Hardy to zone 3 and evergreen in our area.
