About this Plant
Organic Magic Carpet Thyme (Thymus serpyllum 'Magic Carpet') is a high-impact groundcover that lives up to its name. This vigorous variety forms a fast-spreading, low-profile mat of lemon-scented green foliage. In late spring and early summer, the entire plant disappears under a thick "carpet" of brilliant, glowing magenta-pink flowers, transforming paths and rockeries into a sea of vivid color.
As a versatile member of the Thymus genus, 'Magic Carpet' is as tough as it is beautiful. It is highly resistant to heat and drought, making it an excellent choice for stabilizing slopes or filling in large sunny gaps in the perennial border. The aromatic leaves are also edible, making this a perfect "multi-tasking" plant for the edible landscape. Why you’ll love it: Intense magenta-pink floral display, refreshing citrus-herb fragrance, and a vigorous habit that chokes out weeds.
Product Details: This Organic Magic Carpet Thyme is delivered as a robust 4-inch live plant in a nursery pot. It stays under 2 inches tall and thrives in full sun.
