Maintenance:

To keep your Thymus serpyllum 'Coccineus' thriving and looking its best, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Sunlight: Plant 'Coccineus' in a location that receives full sun. It thrives in bright sunlight and requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
• Watering: 'Coccineus' is drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
• Soil: 'Coccineus' prefers well-draining soil. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage and fertility.
• Fertilization: 'Coccineus' does not require frequent fertilization. A light application of balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring can promote healthy growth.
• Pruning: Trim back any dead or faded flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a neat appearance. Pruning after flowering can help rejuvenate the plant.
• Division: Every few years, consider dividing 'Coccineus' to prevent overcrowding and encourage vigorous growth. Spring or early fall is the ideal time for division.
• Winter Care: 'Coccineus' is a hardy plant, but in colder regions, a layer of mulch around the base can help protect the roots from extreme temperatures.
