description for "Thyme: Thymus serpyllum 'Pink Chintz'"
Creeping Thyme 'Pink Chintz' is a very low grower, excellent for planting between pavers and flagstone. 'Pink Chintz' continues to be a favorite with all who see it in bloom. With attractive evergreen foliage and profuse salmon-pink flowers beginning in early spring, this variety is typically one of the first thymes to bloom. 'Pink Chintz' is one of the most tolerant of dry conditions, but grows vigorously with extra water. Trim off faded flowers to keep it looking neat.
