Thymus praecox 'Pink Chintz' commonly called wild thyme, creeping thyme or mother-of-thyme, is a hairy, prostrate, creeping, woody-based perennial which is primarily grown as an ornamental ground cover. It is rarely used in cooking. Although leaves are aromatic, strength of scent varies according to season and habitat, and leaves are usually not considered to be of culinary quality. Deep pink to purple flowers appear in summer on flowering stems rising 2-4” tall. Flowers are attractive to bees.
