Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Wild thyme is a low-growing, fragrant herb that grows best in full sun, preferably 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. This heirloom variety prefers sandy, well-draining soil and is drought-tolerant once established.
When to Grow
Start thyme seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost, then transplant outdoors after the frost date. Check your local area’s frost dates for an accurate planting schedule. Alternatively, you can direct sow in the garden 2 weeks before the last frost.
How to Sow and Plant
Surface-sow seeds and press lightly without covering, as they need light to germinate. Keep the temperature between 60-75 F until germination happens, usually within 14-28 days. Space plants about 9 inches apart for spreading growth.
How to Grow
Wild thyme thrives in dry, sunny conditions and requires minimal water. Allow soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Light pruning encourages dense growth and prevents woody stems. If growing indoors, keep plants in a sunny window.
How to Save
- Allow flowers to dry and turn brown.
- Gently rub the browned flower stalks into a bag and winnow to separate.
- Store in a cool, dark, dry place.
