English Thyme Seeds (Organic)

English Thyme Seeds (Organic)

Fragrant herb, timeless flavor.

English Thyme is a classic perennial herb prized for its small, fragrant leaves and robust, savory flavor. This versatile herb is a staple in Mediterranean and European cuisine, enhancing the flavor of roasted meats, soups, stews, sauces, and vegetable dishes. Thriving in full sun and well-draining soil, English Thyme is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, maturing in 75-85 days. The compact plants grow up to 12 inches tall and feature woody stems with clusters of tiny, aromatic leaves. In summer, English Thyme produces small lavender or pale pink flowers that attract pollinators, adding ornamental value to herb gardens or borders. Regular harvesting encourages fresh growth and ensures a continuous supply of flavorful leaves. Whether used fresh or dried, English Thyme is a must-have for home cooks and gardeners seeking bold flavor and year-round culinary use. Its hardy nature and visual appeal make it an essential addition to any herb garden.

Did You Know? Thyme is said to aid in digestion of fats which makes it an excellent complement for any recipes using oils and fats.

Soil & Water: Thyme can grow in most soils, but performs best in well-drained soil with moderate nutrients. Soil which is too rich will cause the plant to get leggy and lose its compact shape.

Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly pinch developing plants to encourage bushiness. Sow seed directly 2-3 weeks before the last frost. Thyme also thrives as a potted plant.

Harvesting & Storage: Harvest leaves when the plant is large enough. Use fresh leaves, or dry and store leaves in an airtight container. Thyme also keeps well frozen.
