Zone 5 from what I can find. Would not survive in MN.

  It's a little surprising that the article itself calls out creeping thyme as one of the bee-friendly candidate plants for MN, then, as does the article it ultimately sources from: https://www.startribune.com/program-pays-minnesota-homeowners-to-let-their-lawn-go-to-the-bees/510593382/?refresh=true https://www.startribune.com/program-pays-minnesota-homeowner... Perhaps there is a hardier variety? Or maybe they're expecting people to just plant fresh each spring?

    Live in MN and have creeping thyme in our yard (was planted in our perennial garden and creeped). It grows very well here.

    Creeping thyme works fine in the Twin Cities metro, at least. It grows very well in our yard, and it's all over our neighborhood. We also have a big bunch of yarrow planted in our hellstrip. It grows great in those tough conditions. We don't even water it, and it's always full of bees and other bugs.

      Can confirm - TC metro area is great for our thyme. It's certainly crept and spread :)
