Suitable for:

Summary:
A new addition to our popular creeping thyme range,
Thyme Bressingham Pink is a hardy, low growing variety with a spreading habit.
It has small fragrant grey-green leaves and clear pink flowers in June and July.
Creeping thymes are immensely popular and look great planted in cracks between paving stones,
spreading across gravelled areas, or indeed as a 'thyme lawn'.
In common with other thymes it prefers poor conditions and a sunny spot.
Light gravelly soil is ideal, giving the best aromatic foliage and flowers.
Thyme Bressingham Pink looks great in a mixed thyme planting, combining particularly well with the
darker flowers of Thyme Caborn Wine and Roses,
and a good contrast to the bright green foliage and
white flowers of Creeping White Thyme.
In addition it is a good companion for smaller herbs and perennials which enjoy dry conditions, try
planting with Helianthemum 'Ben Ledi' or
the contrasting and later flowering Creeping Savory.
