About This Plant
Thymus serpyllum 'Pink Chintz' (Creeping Thyme), 'Pink Chintz', is valued in PNW gardens for its character and seasonal interest.
Thymes (Thymus) are aromatic creeping perennial herbs / groundcovers with tiny leaves and pink, purple, or white summer flowers loved by bees.
Full sun suits this species. Plant in well-drained, lean soil. Hardy USDA Zone 4 to 9. Sharp drainage essential. Drought-tolerant.
For a Pacific Northwest native plant of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray), or Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape) , all support native pollinators and birds.
