Description
One of the first creeping thymes to flower each year, and the most tolerant of dry conditions and foot traffic, ‘Pink Chintz’ is a charming and reliable cultivar that bursts into bloom in early spring with unique salmon-pink flowers that nearly cover the foliage. Its flowers are well-loved by butterflies and other beneficial pollinating insects. Its fuzzy olive-green foliage forms a mat 1 to 2 inches tall and 18 inches wide or more that serves well as groundcover and is perfect between stepping stones. Pink Chintz Thyme is hardy in USDA Zones 4-9…meaning all but the very hottest and coldest parts of the planet are good for growing this great plant!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a low mound to only 1 to 2 inches tall and spreading to 18 inches or more over time, Pink Chintz Thyme tolerates foot traffic well so is perfect for use to fill the gaps between stepping stones and pavers or as a groundcover or underplanting for shrubs, roses, perennials and small trees, such as Japanese maples. Very nice around and growing over boulders. Flowering bulbs will pop right through it in spring. Also serves nicely as a soil cover in container gardens grown above ground. A fine addition to rock gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
Tip: When planting between closely spaced stepping stones or pavers the root ball of some creeping thymes can be divided so as to fit in to the smaller gaps. Just make sure plants have rooted across the soil surface in the pot. If there is only a single stem with branches do not try to divide the plant!
Suggested Spacing: 18 inches apart for mass planting; 6 to 12 inches apart to fill gaps between stepping stones or pavers

Growing Preferences
When planted right and in the right spot, Pink Chintz Thyme is easy to grow. It grows best in light, lightly moist to dry, well-drained soil and full sun. A little shade is okay. Will tolerate rainy periods but constantly soggy or wet soil is a killer. So make sure to plant in a well-drained site.
