  • 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.
