Thymus serpyllum 'Pink Chintz', commonly known as Pink Chintz creeping thyme, is a low-growing, aromatic perennial herb in the mint family. It forms a dense, spreading mat of fuzzy, woolly gray-green to olive-green foliage with tiny, rounded leaves. In early spring to summer, it bursts into bloom with clusters of soft salmon-pink to pink flowers that nearly cover the plant, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. This drought-tolerant cultivar thrives in full sun and well-drained, poor or sandy soils, making it ideal for xeriscaping.
Typically reaching just 1–2 inches tall (up to 3 inches with flowers) and spreading 12–18 inches wide, it creates a tight ground-hugging carpet. Hardy in USDA zones 4–9 (sometimes listed to zone 3 or 10 depending on source), it handles cold winters, heat, and light foot traffic well. Gardeners use it as ornamental ground cover between stepping stones, in rock gardens, borders, or containers, and it adds fragrance when brushed or walked on.
