Wild thyme is a creeping dwarf evergreen shrub with woody stems and a taproot.
The leaves are in opposite pairs, nearly stalkless, with linear elliptic round-tipped blades and untoothed margins. The plant sends up erect flowering shoots.
The usually pink or mauve flowers have a tube-like calyx and an irregular straight-tubed, hairy corolla.
The upper petal is notched and the lower one is larger than the two lateral petals and has three flattened lobes which form a lip.
