Magic Carpet Creeping Thyme Seeds - Herbal Plant

Magic Carpet creeping thyme seeds produce low-growing, perennial herb plants with a dense, mat-forming growth habit and small, aromatic leaves. This variety is well suited for ground cover, borders, rock gardens, and pathway planting where a uniform spread is desired. It grows best in full sun and adapts to a range of well-drained soils, including sandy and moderately low-fertility conditions. Magic Carpet creeping thyme establishes steadily and becomes tolerant of dry conditions once mature.
