Tips from Fran
Thymus Magic Carpet is yet another one of the “newer” thyme on the market. Its leaves form more of a point than other thymes and have a unique citrus scent to them. I think the bud and bloom phase is what sets this plant apart with its deep purple bloom that opens to a light pink flower. Ok… it might be the orange scent too.
