Magic Carpet thrives when gets at least four hours of sun per day, but can also tolerate partial shade. When the temperature is at least 50 Fahrenheit, seedlings should be able to manage more and more sunlight and can be left outdoors overnight. If the temperatures remain warm both day and night (above 50 Fahrenheit) keep the young Magic Carpet plants in a sheltered place outside for a week. Accustom young plants to outdoor conditions by placing them outside during the day and bringing them back inside for the cold nights. Hardened off before transplanting outdoors. When transplanting spoon out the seedlings to prevent damaging the stem by lifting them. Transplant the young seedlings into the garden 12 inches apart when seedlings are 2 to 3 inches tall - large enough to plant out in the garden. Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination - germination time is 14-21 days at 65 to 70☏. For a great germination rate a good seed to soil contact is required. Then press the Thyme seeds into the soil, but do not cover them. Scatter the Creeping Thyme seeds over the starting mix soil. This will allow the roots to develop and become strong enough before transplanting outdoors, then establish themselves through the growing season. Sow Creeping Thyme seeds in starter trays indoors 6 weeks before the last expected frost. Magic Carpet Thyme is a hardy plant with a short habit growth of 2 - 4 inches tall and a spread up to 24 inches wide. This dense evergreen perennial is a low maintenance plant, drought tolerant when established. The plants are deer and rabbit resistant. The scented Thyme blooms attract bees and butterflies. This pink thyme with lemon fragrance is ideal for rock gardens, along walkways, gap-filler between stone steps or cascading out of containers. Creeping Thyme (Thymus Serpyllum Magic Carpet) is a beautiful, low-growing ground cover perennial.
