Product description
Pink Thyme is a low-growing herb cultivated primarily for the profusion of pink blossoms that cover the plant in summer. The tiny, dark green leaves possess a mild savoury scent that is released when the plant is walked upon. It is traditionally used as a ground cover between stepping stones or in rock gardens, where it softens hard edges and suppresses weeds.
This plant is typically grown as a hardy evergreen mat that spreads slowly to cover the soil. It is tough and frost-tolerant. For the best results and the most flowers, plant it in a location with full sun. It is drought-tolerant and requires well-drained, sandy or gritty soil, as it will rot in damp conditions.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only - The plant will be supplied in a growers pot.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
