Thyme 'Pink Chintz' Plants

Say hello to one of the prettiest varieties of thyme you'll see, Thyme Pink Chintz. With small, delicate green leaves and pastel pink flowers, this is a plant that'll bring joy to your garden space year after year. Its sprawling nature makes it a fantastic choice for a wide range of growing spaces, be it containers on a balcony, a living wall of hearty herbs or in a bed in an allotment garden.

The delicate blossoms not only add a pop of colour to the garden but also attract pollinators making this a wonderful bee and butterfly friendly plant choice for your garden.

Aside from its beauty, the fragrance and taste of this of this plant does not disappoint.  The aromatic leaves are earthy and slightly sweet, with a hint of lemon, a flavour profile which complements a wide range of dishes, including roasted meats, stews, soups, and vegetables - or even added to rich puddings. The leaves can be harvested as needed and used fresh or dried to impart their distinctive taste to culinary creations in the future which is particularly helpful during the winter months when growth will really slow.

  Delivery Information

• Golden Thyme. We love the bright, eye catching golden foliage of this variety. When pink flowers emerge from the foliage during summer is just gets better and better. Those attractive pink flowers seem to be enjoyed equally by both humans and bees which is really special too. This is a variety of Thyme that provides interest through the colder months too – when it is most welcome. Golden Thyme is perfect for planting in a pot on a sunny patio or within a free draining border. Gorgeous colour, fantastic scent and a perfect plant that can be enjoyed all year around.

• Delivery options explained

   

  Pre-order delivery option

  From January to March, customers are able to pre-order herbs for delivery later in spring, to ensure that you receive the unusual varieties that you desire. We begin dispatch of pre-orders from late March, once all items in your order are available for dispatch in one delivery, as some varieties will be available a little later in the year than others. You will receive notification when this dispatch takes place along with tracking information but if you would like an estimated delivery date after placing your pre-order, please do not hesitate to contact us.

  Order Now delivery option

  From late March to autumn, herbs will be available for immediate dispatch subject to their availability. We dispatch our fresh potted herbs Monday-Wednesday each week to avoid postal delays over the weekend. We aim to dispatch all fresh herb orders in less than seven days, i.e. an order placed Thursday-Sunday would likely be dispatched the following Monday. Orders placed Monday-Tuesday, we would aim to dispatch by the Wednesday of that week.

  If you have a specific dispatch date that you would like us to aim towards, please do not hesitate to let us know. We can't guarantee a particular date but will strive to do our best for you.

  Dispatch information

  All orders are dispatched via a next day courier, ensuring that your herbs reach you promptly and in good health. For customers in the Highlands and Channel Islands this is a 48-hour delivery service. (From 2021 onwards we are unable to ship to Northern Ireland.)

  Please note that we do not offer a collection service. Our site is not suitable to receive visitors and this is a rule that we have to apply universally out of respect to our neighbours and family.

   

  Packaging

  
  We aim to reuse packaging as much as possible. Your herbs will be delivered in taupe recyclable pots. We are moving over to using plastic blister cell packaging which contains at least 90% recycled content and is itself 100% recyclable. These things are important to you and are important to us.
