Underplanting a bay tree

I have a bay tree in a pot. It was here when I bought the house several years ago and was badly neglected as until I started wfh last March I had an, in retrospect, extremely incompetent gardener. It looked totally dead last spring I.e. covered in dead brown leaves but have nursed it back to health. It’s maybe 4 or 5 feet tall, very bushy and a natural shape, not standard. It’s mulched with manure in a half barrel and I’d like to underplant it. It’s in a sunny spot in a south facing garden. I would have liked a white flowered creeping thyme like this but no luck in finding any in local nurseries.

I have some Johnson’s blue geraniums - a couple of 9cm plugs and some bulbs. Would they work or are they too tall?

If not these anything else that would work well?

They would be ok, what about a white Vinca or a smaller white hardy geranium?

Or cyclamen. You can get white ones as well as the pink.

Have a look on eBay for the thyme, lots of good reliable herb sellers on there.
