Thymus Silver Carpet

Thymus Silver Carpet Details

Thymus Silver Carpet is a variety of Thyme grown for both its foliage and flowers. The leaves on this herbaceous perennial are scented, small, and variegated with silver and green. It produces masses of short spikes carrying fragrant, pink flowers through summer which are great for attracting butterflies and the like. It grows to just 15 cm tall and 40 cm wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade. Thymus Silver Carpet is commonly included in herb or cottage gardens, planted between pavers or rocks, used as a groundcover, or allowed to trail over a wall or the like. A mass planting looks spectacular.
