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.

Direct sow: Sow seeds outdoors in late spring when temperatures are consistently in the high 60’s or above or start indoors 8-10 weeks before your average last frost date by gently pressing seeds into the planting medium. Do not cover as light aids germination. Keep seeds moist until germination, usually 21-28 days.
