Mateřídouška Coccineus je drobná, ale nepřehlédnutelná trvalka, která do zahrady vnese nádhernou vůni a záplavu barev. Ve volné přírodě roste na slunných a suchých stráních, skalách a písčitých místech, proto i u vás na zahradě ocení podobné podmínky. Nejlépe se jí daří na plném slunci v dobře propustné a chudší písčité půdě. Je to naprosto nenáročná rostlina, kterou bez obav zvládnou i začátečníci. Nevyžaduje téměř žádnou zálivku, netrpí na choroby ani škůdce a bez problémů odolává i silným mrazům až do minus osmadvaceti stupňů. Tato plazivá rostlinka dorůstá výšky pouhých pět až deset centimetrů a rychle vytváří husté zelené polštáře. Od června do srpna se kultivar Coccineus halí do nápadných karmínově růžových květů, které intenzivně voní. Jde o obrovské lákadlo pro včely, čmeláky a motýly, kterým poskytuje bohatou pastvu. Skvěle se hodí do skalek, suchých zídek, koryt nebo jako voňavá obruba slunných záhonů a chodníčků. Obdržíte od nás vzrostlou sazenici v květináči, kterou stačí jen přesadit rovnou na vybrané místo. Květy a aromatické lístky této mateřídoušky jsou navíc jedlé. Výborně poslouží v kuchyni při dochucování letních pokrmů, přípravě bylinkových čajů nebo jako jedlá dekorace na talíři. Ačkoli to pro svou malou výšku není typická rostlina k řezu do velkých váz, drobné voňavé snítky můžete přidat do malých letních kytiček nebo je usušit, protože si i po zaschnutí dlouho uchovávají své nezaměnitelné aroma.
