Growing Tips for Thyme

To successfully grow thyme, start by sowing thyme seeds about 1/4" deep in moist, well-drained soil. Seeds typically germinate in 7–21 days. Once true leaves appear, transplant seedlings 12" apart. Thyme is suitable for both outdoor beds and thyme indoors in containers.

Creeping Thyme as Ground Cover

Creeping thyme seed is ideal for use as a drought-tolerant ground cover. Its dense growth suppresses weeds, while purple flowers bloom in summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Great for walkways, borders, and rock gardens.
