About this Plant
Pink Chintz Wild Thyme (Thymus serpyllum 'Pink Chintz') is an award-winning creeping groundcover that creates a soft, floral rug in the garden. This variety features tiny, fuzzy, grey-green leaves that form a dense, weed-suppressing mat. In early summer, the foliage is almost completely obscured by a profusion of tiny, starry, salmon-pink flowers that are highly attractive to bees and beneficial insects.
As a rugged member of the Thymus genus, 'Pink Chintz' is exceptionally drought-tolerant and can handle moderate foot traffic, making it a premier choice for planting between stepping stones or as a fragrant lawn alternative. Why you’ll love it: Prolific pink blooms, aromatic drought-tolerant foliage, and a low-profile habit that releases a pleasant herbal scent when stepped upon.
This healthy 4" live plant thrives in full sun and requires sharp, well-drained soil.
