Herb with a creeping variety (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thyme

(Other definitions for thyme that I've seen before include "Leaves used as seasoning" , "Strong herb" , "Part of song: ''parsley, sage, rosemary and . . . . .''" , "Culinary herb of the mint family" , "Aromatic plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
