Thyme ~ Thymus serpyllum ~ var. Magic Carpet

This is a lawn variety of Thyme on which you can walk. It makes an excellent lawn as it requires little watering and no mowing! Used as an alternative lawn, it can tolerate light traffic. Thyme must have good drainage, is drought tolerant and must have full sun.

This gorgeous mini creeping thyme makes a striking lawn substitute and features deep green foliage that explodes in late spring with carmine-pink flowers. Magic Carpet Thyme has a soft scent of lemon when stepped on and it is a maintenance free, hardy plant that will give years of beauty and enjoyment.

It can also be used as a ground cover because of its creeping habit and low growing nature. It is also edible and can be used just like regular thyme. The leaves of this ground cover are edible and the plants are full of tiny pink clusters of blooms that are attractive to butterflies.

Magic Carpet thyme ground cover is only 50 - 100mm high, and spreads and flowers for most of the summer. It is perfect for edging the garden border, rock gardens, walkways, patios and in containers.

If you have a stepping stone path or a flagstone patio, growing Thyme Magic Carpet is a great way to add lovely, low-growing thyme to the walkway and patio crevices.

Magic Carpet Thyme (Thymus Serpyllum) is also known as Creeping Thyme, Breckland Thyme, Breckland Wild Thyme or Elfin Thyme

Magic Carpet Thyme:

• A low maintenance lawn
• Excellent ground cover because of its low growing and creeping nature
• Great for checkerboard patterns between pavers and stepping stones
• Looks terrific in Rock / Alpine Gardens
• Ideal for rooftop gardens
• Garden sculptures
• Excellent ground cover because of its low growing and creeping nature

Some Of Our Other Grasses

Zoysia Tenuifolia and Ophiopogon Japonicus Nana

Both Zoysia tenuifolia and Ophiopogon Japonicus Nana have many 'Common Names' which has made it difficult to establish which plant to purchase, until now that is!

What is Zoysia Tenuifolia?

Here is an article written in the Sydney Morning Herald ▶▶  Zoysia Makes a Brilliant Green Nomow Lawn. Written by Robin Powell, this article sings the praises of Zoysia Tenuifolia. Robin describes Zoysia and mentions Tranquil Havens and my good self:

"Keen gardener Graeme Fraser saw it there (Hunter Valley Gardens) in 2009 and loved its free-form, free-flowing look. So when he found it impossible to buy for his own garden, he made a ‘‘note to self: business opportunity".

He launched Tranquil Havens (tranquilhavens.com.au), an online nursery selling Dwarf Mondo and Zoysia, his true love, by mail-order. Graeme says his success, despite his lack of horticultural experience, is a guarantee to other gardeners of the plant’s adaptability. It grows in sun and shade, only complains if left in soggy soil, and is not particularly expensive.

"If you fancy a brilliant emerald green lawn that doesn’t need mowing, mossy-looking landscapes without the challenge of growing moss, and softness so alluring you can’t keep your hands off it, meet Zoysia tenuifolia. It is the plant set to become this decade’s mondo grass."                                                                                           Robin Powell - Sydney Morning Herald
