Thymus serpyllum 'Red Carpet'
Thymus serpyllum 'Red Carpet' is a vibrant, mat-forming evergreen thyme that produces masses of rich magenta-red flowers from June to August. The aromatic foliage forms a dense, spreading carpet that releases a pleasant scent when brushed, making it a perfect choice for rockeries, path edges, or gravel gardens.
Low-growing and drought tolerant once established, ‘Red Carpet’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. The nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, adding life and colour to pollinator-friendly planting schemes. Ideal as groundcover, between paving stones, or for softening hard landscaping with year-round foliage and summer colour.
