English Thyme Seeds Organic Perennial Herb

English Thyme Seeds Organic Perennial Herb is a classic perennial with small, fragrant leaves and a robust, savory flavor. It supports Mediterranean and European cooking, enhancing roasted meats, soups, stews, sauces, and vegetable dishes. This drought-tolerant, low-maintenance herb thrives in full sun and well-draining soil and typically matures in 75–85 days. The compact plant reaches up to 12 inches tall, with woody stems and clusters of tiny, aromatic leaves. In summer, it bears small lavender or pale pink flowers that attract pollinators and add ornamental value to herb gardens. Regular harvesting keeps leaves coming and allows use fresh or dried, with freezing as a storage option.

Thyme grows best in well-drained soil with moderate nutrients; overly rich soil can cause leggy growth. Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, lightly pinch developing plants to encourage bushiness, or sow directly 2–3 weeks before the last frost. It also thrives as a potted plant. Harvest leaves when the plant is large enough; leaves can be used fresh or dried, or frozen for storage. Soil temperature 60–70F; planting depth 1/16 inch; germination 21–28 days; height at maturity 8–12 inches; days to maturity 90–100; sun full to partial; spacing after thinning 6–12 inches; approximately 100 seeds per pack.
