Thymus serphyllus
Creeping thyme Coccineus is a tiny but unmissable perennial that brings a wonderful fragrance and a flood of colors to the garden. In the wild, it grows on sunny and dry hillsides, rocks, and sandy places, so it will appreciate similar conditions in your garden as well. It thrives best in full sun in well-draining, poorer sandy soil. It is a completely low-maintenance plant that even beginners can handle without worry. It requires almost no watering, does not suffer from diseases or pests, and easily withstands severe frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees. This creeping plant reaches a height of only five to ten centimeters and quickly forms dense green cushions. From June to August, the Coccineus cultivar is draped in striking crimson-pink flowers that smell intensely. It is a huge attraction for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, providing them with a rich pasture. It is excellently suited for rock gardens, dry stone walls, troughs, or as a fragrant edging for sunny beds and walkways. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which just needs to be transplanted straight to your chosen spot. Furthermore, the flowers and aromatic leaves of this creeping thyme are edible. They will serve excellently in the kitchen when flavoring summer dishes, preparing herbal teas, or as an edible decoration on the plate. Although it is not a typical plant for cutting into large vases due to its small height, you can add tiny fragrant sprigs to small summer bouquets or dry them, because they retain their unmistakable aroma for a long time even after drying.
