Planting & Care

Sow Dwarf Creeping Thyme seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 14-21 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C).

Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to their permanent location in full sun and well-drained soil. Space plants 6-12 inches apart to allow for spread. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system; thereafter, water only during prolonged dry spells. Mulch lightly to suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the crown to prevent rot.
