Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 14-28 days at 65-70°F. Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThyme prefers a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system, but avoid overwatering as thyme is susceptible to root rot. Mulch lightly to retain moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the stems. Harvest leaves as needed once the plant is established, and prune lightly after flowering to maintain a bushy shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e300 Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835985330486,"sku":"FOLIA2-1545","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6562539869_b50p.jpg?v=1793096901","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/thyme-seeds-thymus-vulgaris-300-culinary-herb-seeds-for-cooking-pollinator-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
