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.
