🌸 RED CREEPING THYME

It can create attractive mats of foliage and seasonal flowers when established under suitable growing conditions.

Flower coloration can appear somewhat different according to lighting, flower age, weather, and growing conditions.

🌿 LOW-GROWING GROUND COVER

Consider it for:

• Rock gardens
• Garden borders
• Pathway edges
• Slopes
• Between appropriately spaced stepping stones
• Cottage gardens
• Low-growing perennial displays
• Ground-cover plantings

🪴 LIVE PLANT IN 4″ POT

You receive:

1 LIVE RED CREEPING THYME
THYMUS PRAECOX ‘COCCINEUS’
4″ NURSERY POT

The 4″ measurement refers to the nursery container—not the mature spread of the plant.

For stronger buyer expectations, add:

CURRENT PLANT SPREAD: APPROX. [X–X″]

For a creeping ground cover, spread/width is often more useful than height.

🐝 FLOWERING GARDEN APPEAL

When flowering, Creeping Thyme can attract visiting bees and other pollinating insects.

Pollinator activity depends on location, season, weather, surrounding habitat, and local growing conditions.

🌿 AROMATIC FOLIAGE

Thyme foliage can have a characteristic herbal aroma when handled.

For this listing, focus primarily on ornamental ground-cover use unless you have verified that your specific nursery stock has been produced and handled appropriately for culinary use.

☀️ LIGHT

Provide growing conditions appropriate for Thymus praecox and your local climate.

Young nursery plants should be acclimated gradually when transitioning into substantially different outdoor conditions.

💧 DRAINAGE

Appropriate drainage is particularly important.

Avoid keeping the root zone continuously saturated.

Water requirements vary according to temperature, rainfall, sunlight, soil, container size, and season.

🌱 SPREADING HABIT

Under suitable conditions, established Creeping Thyme can gradually spread outward to create a low-growing mat.

Actual growth rate and final coverage depend on:

• Climate
• Soil
• Sun exposure
• Water
• Plant spacing
• Plant maturity
• Length of growing season

Avoid promising a specific coverage area within a fixed period.

🌸 BLOOMS AT DELIVERY

Your plant may arrive:

• With foliage only
• With active new growth
• With developing buds
• Flowering

FLOWERS, BUDS, FLOWER QUANTITY, AND A SPECIFIC BLOOM DATE ARE NOT GUARANTEED AT DELIVERY.

Mature flowering photographs demonstrate the cultivar's potential and do not mean every shipped plant will arrive blooming.

🍂 SEASONAL APPEARANCE

Live perennial plants can vary significantly in appearance throughout the year.

Depending on season and climate, foliage may appear fuller, more compact, discolored from cold, recently trimmed, or partially dormant.

Clearly disclose the current shipping condition whenever it differs substantially from your main listing photographs.
