Wilders 3.5" Thyme coccineus

Add vibrant color, fragrance, and flavor to your landscape with Creeping Thyme 'Coccineus', a low-growing ground cover that bursts into brilliant magenta-pink blooms in late spring to early summer. This hardy, mat-forming perennial spreads gently across walkways, between stepping stones, or over garden edges, creating a carpet of tiny, aromatic leaves and nectar-rich flowers.

Beyond its ornamental beauty, 'Coccineus' also offers culinary value. The flavorful leaves can be harvested and used fresh or dried to season meats, vegetables, soups, and stews—adding a subtle, earthy essence to your dishes.

'Coccineus' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, and drought-tolerant plantings. Its dense growth helps suppress weeds, and the flowers are beloved by bees and butterflies.
