Gray Goldenrod (Solidago nemoralis)

If you're looking for a plant to thrive in a difficult bare patch, **Creeping Thyme (Thymus serpyllum)** could be an excellent option. Unlike some other plants that might disrupt the area, Creeping Thyme spreads gently, creating a lush carpet of greenery and vibrant flowers. It’s drought-resistant, low-maintenance, and well-suited to poor soil, making it ideal for challenging spots. Plus, it’s native to Europe but has adapted well to various climates.
