Common Thyme Seeds - 200,000 Non-GMO Seeds for Planting Herb Gardens

Common Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) is a compact, aromatic perennial herb prized for its small, fragrant gray-green leaves and its many culinary and garden uses. A staple in herb gardens, it works equally well in borders, rock gardens, containers, and along pathways where its low, bushy habit and subtle flowers add texture and interest. Its dependable flavor and easygoing nature make it a favorite for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

These non-GMO seeds offer an economical way to start a generous supply of thyme plants for the kitchen garden or landscape. With a large seed count, there is plenty to sow for successive plantings, fill herb beds, or share with fellow gardeners.

Planting & Care

Start common thyme seeds indoors in a light, well-drained seed-starting mix, pressing the seeds gently into the surface and keeping the medium lightly moist. Thyme seeds can be slow to germinate, so be patient and provide warmth and bright light. Once seedlings are sturdy, harden them off gradually before transplanting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny spot with good drainage, as thyme dislikes soggy roots. Water young plants regularly until established, then water more sparingly. Trim plants lightly to encourage bushy growth and remove spent flowers if desired. In cold climates, thyme is often grown as an annual or overwintered in containers.
