(Creeping Thyme)

This mat-forming, evergreen culinary herb has been long cultivated in its native Europe. The pink-flowered cultivar 'Pink Chintz' spreads relatively rapidly via slender creeping stems covered with tiny gray-green leaves.

Numerous rounded clusters of flowers are produced from early to midsummer and are highly attractive to bees and butterflies.
