There's a lot to love about this mounding, spreading groundcover. Its form is perfect for grouping in a mass planting, it loves to grow around and between pavers, its fine textured foliage fills the air with fragrance, and it erupts into a carpet of deep purple bloom in the late spring. Best of all, 'Purple Carpet' will make you look like a landscape pro without even trying since it is so easy to grow.
