INTRODUCING THYME SEEDS

Thyme has been cultivated since the ancient times. It is praised for its culinary and medicinal qualities. Originally from the Mediterranean, today thyme is vital in Italian, Mediterranean, and French cuisines, and can be grown easily as a perennial in USDA hardiness zones 5 to 9. Forming dense stems that cover the ground, thyme gives off a fragrant scent whenever it is brushed against or walked on.

HOW TO PLANT THYME SEEDS

Start the seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost or sow them directly to the garden space in spring. Thyme seeds are tiny and need light to germinate properly. Sprinkle them on the soil surface without covering. Germination usually begins in 2 weeks to a month, provided the soil is consistently kept moist. Transplant the seedlings outdoors when they grow big enough to handle.

MAINTAINING THYME PLANTS

Thyme tolerates dry soil once it is established. It enjoys direct sunlight and soil that drains well. Requiring minimal watering, these plants are ideal for low-maintenance garden spaces. Regular cutting after flowering will encourage bushy growth and prevent the stems from becoming woody as well. Thyme can be harvested as necessary. Snip sprigs or leaves, and use them fresh or dried.

With Survival Garden Seeds' thyme seeds, anyone can cultivate an herb that offers a pungent flavor. It serves as an attractive ground cover. Offering therapeutic benefits whether fresh or dried, thyme leaves are an excellent addition to the spice rack and the medicine cabinet.
