Scarlet field thyme is a fragrant ground cover with magenta-red flowers.

This plant is ideal for filling empty spaces in beds or rockery. Not only do the flowers emit a pleasant fragrance, but the leaves also release a pleasant oil when exposed to sunlight. With this field thyme ground cover, wonderful aromas will permeate your garden. Field thyme is a labiate with many small flowers in summer. They stand as filigree corollas at the end of the delicate twigs. The flowering period is from June to August. Then the many flowers look like a soft red cushion. The larger leaves are rounded. In autumn they turn bronze. The plant is hardy and creates beautiful accents all year round.

Thymes as ground cover and versatile garden grass

Scarlet field thyme reaches a growth height of around ten centimetres. The plant spreads like a carpet over time. Twelve plants per square metre are needed to create a large area. In this number, the thyme plant soon forms a decorative carpet of red flowers and fine evergreen leaves. If you buy a thyme plant, you will enjoy the ground cover for a long time! Thyme is also extremely versatile. It can be used in many places in the garden. The plant is suitable for planting in flower beds, planting bowls or wall crowns. It is ideal for the gravel garden and for roof planting. Thyme can even be used as a lawn substitute. This makes thyme very popular with gardeners. When you plant a thyme plant, you are also doing good for our native insect world. The scent of the flowers magically attracts bees and bumblebees, which feast on the nectar and pollen.

A hardy and robust plant

The scarlet field thyme is uncomplicated and provides much joy in the garden. The evergreen plant is very hardy up to temperatures of -28 °C. This fragrant ground cover loves a sunny location. It prefers to grow in a well-drained, dry soil. A sandy and humus-poor subsoil with small stones is ideal. It is really astonishing how docile this plant is. It even thrives on lean, barren soil. What's more, thyme is hardly any work at all. As a practical ground cover, it even eliminates the annoying weeding! You can remove the shoots growing sideways at will. This way the thyme plant keeps its shape. Even in dry conditions it hardly shows any signs of fatigue. It is only sensitive to waterlogging. Despite its close relationship to the chickweed, field thyme is less suitable as a herb because of its harsh aroma. "
