This heirloom, non-GMO variety is a favorite among gardeners for its compact growth habit and ability to thrive in sunny, well-drained spots. Whether you're growing it in an herb garden, a container on the patio, or as a border plant, thyme offers both flavor and ornamental appeal. Its tiny leaves pack a punch of earthy, slightly floral flavor that enhances soups, stews, roasted meats, and vegetables. Plus, the delicate flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a welcome addition to any pollinator-friendly garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAromatic, evergreen perennial with small, flavorful leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeirloom and non-GMO seed for traditional gardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAttracts bees and other beneficial pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrought-tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVersatile for culinary, ornamental, and container use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thymus vulgaris\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial herb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, sandy or loamy soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate; allow soil to dry between waterings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright to mounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to early summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThyme 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100mg of Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824812949814,"sku":"FOLIA2-1326","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6514476505_tm5c.jpg?v=1793004787","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/thyme-seeds-100mg-thymus-vulgaris-heirloom-perennial-herb-for-culinary-use","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
