Magic Carpet Creeping Thyme (Thymus serpyllum ‘Magic Carpet’)

Magic Carpet Creeping Thyme is a low-growing, aromatic perennial valued for its colourful blooms and dense, spreading habit. This cultivar of Thymus serpyllum is known for forming a vibrant, fragrant carpet that adds both visual appeal and function to the landscape.

This herbaceous perennial forms a tight mat of tiny, aromatic green leaves. In early to mid-summer, it becomes covered in small rosy-pink to purple flowers that create a soft, colourful blanket across the ground. The blooms attract pollinators such as bees while the foliage releases a pleasant scent when brushed or stepped on.

Magic Carpet Thyme is well-suited for groundcover, pathways, rock gardens, and between stepping stones. Its spreading habit and tolerance for light foot traffic make it ideal for filling gaps and softening hardscape features.
