Carpet Thyme Seeds - Herbal Plant

Carpet Thyme is a low-growing perennial herb known for its dense mat-forming growth and aromatic foliage. It produces tiny green leaves and clusters of small pink to purple flowers during the blooming season. The plant spreads quickly to form a soft, carpet-like ground cover that is ideal for pathways, rock gardens, borders, and between stepping stones.
