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.

This little plant is sprouting quickly and is looking very healthy!
They germinated so quick!
Did not do very well. Poor germination rate.
I planted these in my seedling tray under an LED light I just purchased, and they sprouted within days! I am excited to cultivate my own Thyme! I have never used an LED light, and I was concerned because it was a cheaper one, but these seedlings love it.
These seeds sprouted within 3 days of planting and are growing well!
