Thyme Herb Seeds – Culinary & Medicinal, Easy to Grow – 300 Seeds

Thyme is a compact, aromatic perennial herb prized in kitchens and herb gardens for its tiny, flavorful leaves and tidy, low-growing habit. It brings a savory, earthy note to roasted meats, vegetables, soups, and dressings, and its dense, mat-forming foliage makes it a useful edging plant, container herb, or ground cover in sunny borders.

Easy to grow from seed, thyme performs well in herb gardens, raised beds, rock gardens, and patio pots. Its small, nectar-rich flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinators, adding both function and charm to the garden.

Planting & Care

Sow thyme seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, pressing them lightly into the soil surface without covering deeply, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy and provide a warm, bright location. Once seedlings are established and danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors into a sunny spot with well-drained soil.

Thyme is drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Trim plants lightly to encourage bushy growth and harvest leaves as needed throughout the growing season. In cold climates, grow thyme as an annual or overwinter it indoors in a pot.
