Creeping Thyme Seeds

This popular perennial ground cover is low maintenance and has a wonderful citrusy scent. Standing at barely half a foot tall, it thrives in full sun and partially shaded areas and is the perfect companion for containers, rock gardens, and borders.

Creeping thyme is evergreen in zones 4 through 9 but will darken during winter.

Transplant (recommended): Start seeds in flats 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on top of the growing medium and cover with a thin layer of soil mix. Keep moist until germination. Transplant to individual containers when plants have 4 true leaves. After the last frost in spring, transplant outside and space 6-8" apart, in rows 12-18" apart. Pinch off growing tips of upright growing varieties to make bushier plants.
