Botanical Interests Organic Heirloom English Thyme Seeds

An invaluable seasoning in the kitchen, thyme has a subtle, woodsy flavor that complements a variety of foods. A staple herb of chefs, and one of the primary ingredients of bouquet garni. With very small leaves and delicate, edible flowers, thyme makes a lovely, drought-tolerant, 12-inch tall landscape plant; use as a low hedge around your herb or vegetable garden. An excellent container plant to enjoy indoors or out.

Sowing Information:

  • Light: Full sun to part shade
  • When to Start Inside: RECOMMENDED. 6 to 8 weeks before your average last frost date. The ideal soil temperature for germination is 70°–80°F.
  • When to Sow Outside: 1 to 2 weeks after average your last frost date, and when the soil temperature is at least 68°F.
  • Days to Emerge: 10–15 days
  • Seed Depth: ⅛ inch
  • Seed Spacing: A group of 3 seeds every 10 inches
  • Row Spacing: 12 inches
  • Thinning: When 1 inch tall, thin to 1 every 10 inches

Growing Notes:

  • Harvesting: Pick sprigs as you need them. Shear the whole plant 4 inches above ground if growth is spindly; new growth will be denser. Do not cut into the woody part or prune heavily in fall; it may adversely affect winter hardiness.
  • Variety Information: Very small (¼ inch), very fragrant leaves with white to light pinkish/purple flowers in early summer. Evergreen herb used in cooking and for ornamental purposes. Essential in Herbes de Provence.
  • Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zone 5–9
