Behind the Mini Thyme sign is Labrador Violet (Viola labradorica purpurea) a fluffy-textured groundcover with beautiful violet flowers. It grows 3-6 inches high and likes partial to full shade and rich, well-drained soil. It reseeds freely and spreads rapidly enough to displace other groundcovers, which makes it a great choice for covering large bare areas in the shady landscape. Plant 12-18 inches apart for full cover.
