Bring a classic, aromatic staple to your garden with this highly fragrant hardy perennial. Known for its small, flavor-packed leaves that transition from bright spring green to a sophisticated blue-green, this variety is a favorite for both pollinators and chefs alike.
Seed & Planting Care
Success starts with the right start. Because thyme has a delicate root system, it is happiest when planted in its "forever home."
Sowing Method: Direct sow into the garden as soon as the soil is workable in early spring.
Optimal Temperature: Seeds germinate best when soil temperatures are between 55-60°F.
Germination Timeline: Expect seedlings to emerge within 14–28 days.
Planting Tip: For the best visual impact and plant health, plant seedlings in clumps rather than single strands.
Ideal Soil: Thyme thrives in light, dry, alkaline soil that is well-drained.
Growing Profile
Hardiness: Perennial up to Zone 4; can be grown as a productive annual in colder climates.
Harvest Window: 60–90 days.
Pollinator Friendly: Features short lavender flower spikes that are a magnet for bees and other beneficial insects.
Pro Tip: Choose your spot carefully! Its fine, intricate root system makes this plant difficult to transplant once established.
