Thyme 'Magic Carpet' - 4" Pot

Thyme ‘Magic Carpet’ (Thymus serpyllum ‘Magic Carpet’) is a charming, low-growing creeping thyme known for its dense mat of tiny aromatic leaves and vibrant rose-pink flowers that appear in summer. This hardy perennial typically grows only 2–3 inches tall and spreads 12–18 inches wide, forming a colorful carpet of foliage. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is well suited for USDA growth zones 4–9, making it a reliable choice for many garden climates.

‘Magic Carpet’ thyme is prized as a fragrant groundcover, ideal for rock gardens, borders, pathways, and between stepping stones. Its soft foliage releases a pleasant herbal scent when brushed or walked upon. The blooms also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding life to the garden. In addition to its ornamental appeal, the plant can be used sparingly in culinary dishes, offering a mild thyme flavor.
