Add timeless flavor and beauty to your herb garden with Thyme Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This classic culinary herb delivers a subtle, earthy aroma that enhances everything from roasted vegetables and soups to sauces and marinades. A must-have for every home gardener, thyme is both flavorful and versatile—thriving in garden beds, containers, and even as a fragrant ground cover.
Essential Culinary & Garden Herb:
Thyme is an heirloom perennial known for its tiny green leaves and delicate white blossoms. Its flavor is rich yet balanced—perfect for fresh use in cooking or drying for your spice rack. In addition to its culinary value, thyme adds ornamental charm and attracts pollinators when in bloom.
Why Gardeners Love Thyme:
- Classic culinary herb for seasoning meats, soups, sauces, and vegetables
- Hardy perennial that returns year after year
- Excellent for drying or using fresh in recipes
- Compact growth ideal for containers, raised beds, or as fragrant ground cover
- Drought-tolerant and low maintenance once established
- Beautiful white blooms attract bees and beneficial insects
How to Grow:
Start thyme seeds indoors 6–10 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors once soil has warmed. Sow seeds shallowly (just 1/8 inch deep) and keep moist until germination, which takes 14–28 days. Transplant seedlings to a sunny spot with well-drained soil, spacing plants 12–18 inches apart. Thyme thrives in full sun and prefers slightly dry conditions once established.
Harvest & Use:
Harvest thyme sprigs once plants are well established, typically mid-summer. Snip fresh leaves for immediate use or hang bundles to dry in a warm, airy place. Dried thyme retains its flavor beautifully for seasoning year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are heirloom seeds?
What are heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.
