Thymus praecox - Purple Carpet

Thymus praecox ‘Purple Carpet’ is a low-growing creeping thyme that forms a dense carpet of tiny, aromatic dark green leaves topped with masses of vivid lavender-purple flowers. Blooming from late spring into summer, the nectar-rich flowers create a colourful display while attracting bees and butterflies to the garden. Its spreading, drought-tolerant habit is ideal for rock gardens, pathway edges, slopes, ground cover, and planting between stepping stones where it can tolerate occasional light foot traffic. Hardy and easy to maintain, ‘Purple Carpet’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is resistant to deer and rabbits.
