Thyme is very suceptible to crabgrass invasion. It doen't do a good job of
keeping weeds down for some reason. However, I live in the SF bay area, and the
crabgrass just keeps going year round...weeds are a constant battle in the
areas where I have creeping thyme.

You said you would like to use low water natives: where are you and what kind
of soil/climate conditions do you have?
