I need help identifying a plant.

Question

I found this plant and I have no idea what it is but I really want to grow it in my own garden, it grows along the floor of a garden, from far away it resembles moss but I found it thriving in a hot environment with a little shade. The stem of the plant is a maroon type of red and the leaves on it are fuzzy and gathered to look like fuzzy mini rosesets.

Answer 1

We came up with a variation of thyme, such as creeping thyme or woolly thyme. Sedum varieties also form a dense mat like you are wanting. Here is growing information:
