Planting & Care

Thyme seeds can be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sown directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination, which typically takes 14-28 days at 65-70°F. Once seedlings are established, thin them to the recommended spacing. Thyme prefers a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season, but once established, it is drought-tolerant. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Harvest leaves as needed throughout the growing season.
