What's a creeping herb for groundcover that can grow in shade?

Question

I want to grow it under my trampoline (which has a jumping surface that's kind of like mesh, and lets some light in, just not bright direct sunlight). Is there such an herb? Good smell (and the ability to walk on it) like thyme is a plus.

Answer 1

Hi:

Creeping Thyme is a good answer. Here are some other suggestions:

Corsican Mint

Pennyroyal

Creeping Golden Marjoram

Creeping Rosemary

These are just a few. Also consider Ajuga as a great shade ground cover. I will link you to the spices and herb section of my website. There is additional information that may help you out. Good luck to you and have a great day!

Creeping thyme.

Answer 3

Try Mother of thyme aka walk on me plant. I think that'll be your best bet.

You can also try irish moss, and various other types of moss. Also, vinca, creeping myrtle, wintergreen, wintergreen wouldn't be very comfortable to land on though. Crownvetch, pachysandra, and wintercreeper are also options.
