Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Pink Chintz' is a very low growing thyme, excellent for planting between pavers or as an alternative to a lower-play lawn. It has tiny, glossy This evergreen foliage, that is delicately fragrant when stepped on. A profusion of salmon-pink flowers appear in early to mid spring, and is one of the earliest thymes to bloom. Grows about 1 inch tall and 12 to 18 inches across.
