RE: Herb Suggestion

Thyme is wonderful if you don't give it a LOT of foot traffic.  There are
some really nice mosses, however, that are soft underfoot, go dormant in the
worst of the heat and really soften the look of brick and stone.  Just a
thought....

Hi Sue,
I'm an ornamental gardener and know little about herbs.

Hmm, what more precisely are 'much' and 'very'?  If the path is through the
rockgarden, I assume this is a sunny spot.  I recently ordered a delightful
Japanese thyme, no height at all.
