How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
'Spring Carpet' is an early blooming perennial that makes a colorful carpet of flowers. The low-growing perennial thrives in hot, dry, sites and prefers gritty, sharply drained soil in the garden. It makes a nice groundcover along the edges of walks and paths. Native to Mediterranean Europe and North Africa, it’s also called Spanish Chamomile, since it has a similar appearance and habit. It will re-seed itself readily in favorable conditions and naturalize in gardens with poor soils. The plants are not bothered by browsing deer and rabbits. It makes a great companion plant for other early blooming perennials like blue-flowered groundcover Speedwells (Veronica), Wooly Creeping Thyme (Thymus), and Sea Thrift (Armeria). Winner of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (801) 769-0300 or contact us by email or chat.

"Early spring surprise. Started out blooming in a circular shape. Received lots of positive comments."
"Oh my goodness. I planted this a few years ago and it is going bananas! It has grown very well from the start. It has spread and spread. It has gotten to be a thick carpet. It has spread across my driveway (going under?), all across the original part of my yard, needs little water, the honeybees like it. It does get brown after blooming so when it is done this year I'll be cutting it back. It comes on strong every spring early, and is profusely blooming now."
"Planted this in the early spring, it so far has withstood hail, snow and heat. Looking forward to it leaping in the years to come! #sweepstakes"
"I am slowly reclaiming garden space from the invasive weeds that were left to go rampant from years of neglect, and am always on the lookout for plants that are just as persistent as the weeds. This one is. It does reseed freely, requires virtually zero maintenance in Colorado Springs, is evergreen, the flowers are pretty, and it doesn't seem to care that my soil is ""meh"" at best."
