Thyme Herb Garden Seeds

Thyme Herb Heirloom Seeds
Thymus vulgaris
Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 20 seeds

Thyme is a must have culinary herb. Flavor is an earthy mix of mint and lemon. Bees love their purple flowers. I like to air dry my herbs in a hanging mesh herb drier for a few weeks and then store away. Thyme plants have a very delicate root system and is very susceptible to root root if there is too much moisture. I highly recommend to grow in a container/pot so it gets good drainage. Let the soil dry out between watering.

In Florida, most culinary herbs grow best during our fall, winter, and spring when we have our dry season. Herbs love warm & dry conditions. They do not like our rainy summers and tend to die off because of too much water. I grow all of my herbs in containers or grow bags which helps keep the soil drier and they tend to do much better.

Follow me on social media because I talk a lot about the same seed varieties I sell here in my shop and gardening tips. IG, YT, and TikTok: jerrasgarden.

Ideal Growing Conditions

Sun: Full Sun

Water: Allow the soil to dry out a little bit in-between watering.

Fertilizer: Herbs dont really need fertilizer. However, plants grow lush and green when given nitrogen, like organic blood meal. 

When & How To Sow Seeds: Since seeds are so small and they take a long time to germinate, it is recommended that you so seeds indoors, 8 weeks before your last spring frost date, to monitor them closely. You can direct sow the seeds after your last spring frost date if you remember to check up on them. Sprinkle a few seeds over the soil surface, pat them down so they make contact, then water them in. Keep soil moist until germination. 

Germination: 14-28 days

Days To Maturity: Around 3-4 months after direct sowing the seed or transplanting into the garden. 

How & When To Harvest: Pick stems/leaves as needed

Common Diseases: Easily susceptible to root rot in soils that stay too moist. Growing in well draining soil, containers, or grow bags helps to prevent this. 

Common Pests: None
