Creeping Thyme Groundcover Seed

Creeping Thyme (Thymus Serpyllum Magic Carpet) - The perfect ground cover plant that is versatile and hardy! Grow Magic Carpet seeds to create a spreading, flowering ground cover that blooms all summer long! This low-growing plant, only 2 - 4 inches tall, is perfect for edging the flower border, rock gardens, or along walkways. It has clusters of tiny pink blooms that are lemon-scented and attracts butterflies.

Magic Carpet creates a wonderful attraction wherever it is grown. Creeping Thyme ground cover seeds establish easily, and the plant grows quickly to help fill up empty space in the borders and garden. Because it's a long-lived perennial, hardy just about everywhere in the United States, you can expect years of beauty from this trouble-free ground cover plant!

Directly sow Creeping Thyme Magic Carpet ground cover seeds outdoors after frost danger has passed. Prepare a seed bed, loosening the soil and weeding it. Scatter the Magic Carpet seeds and press them firmly into the soil. Keep the seeds consistently moist. If you want to get a jump start on the Creeping Thyme ground cover plants, sow the ground cover seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant the young seedlings into the garden 12 inches apart.
