Creeping Thyme Seeds (Thymus serpyllum) – Perennial, Non-GMO, Heirloom

Creeping Thyme (Thymus serpyllum) is a low-growing, perennial herb known for its fragrant foliage and beautiful purple blooms. This non-GMO, heirloom variety is perfect as a ground cover, edging plant, or pollinator attractor in gardens. It is drought-tolerant and thrives in various soil conditions, making it a great choice for low-maintenance landscaping.

🌱 How to Grow:

• Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors after frost danger has passed.
• Sprinkle seeds lightly on the soil surface and press gently—do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining, sandy or loamy soil (pH 6.0-8.0).
• USDA Zones: 4-9, cold-hardy and heat-tolerant.
• Best Time to Plant: Spring or early fall.
• Germination: 14-21 days with warmth and light moisture.
• Bloom Time: Mid to late summer, with continuous flowering in warm climates.

☀️ Plant Care:

• Full sun (6+ hours daily) for best growth and flowering.
• Water sparingly, as thyme prefers dry to moderately moist soil.
• No need for heavy fertilization; occasional compost or organic fertilizer is sufficient.
• Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage regrowth.
• Drought-tolerant once established, making it a perfect choice for rock gardens and pathways.

🌿 A great addition to any herb garden, Creeping Thyme provides beauty, fragrance, and a natural ground cover that attracts bees and butterflies!
