SOWING – Keep Thyme seeds out of direct sunlight, but make sure the soil temperature is at least 70 degrees F. Germination may take up to 28 days. Transplant the seedlings 9-12″ apart in sandy soil and full sun. Direct sowing is possible but not recommended, since the seeds take much longer to germinate. Thyme also grows well as a container plant, and can be propogated from cuttings or root division. As a companion plant, thyme attracts bees and discourages harmful insects such as the cabbage butterfly.

Growing: Make sure the seedlings have adequate moisture, but as soon as they are established do not water them. Thyme thrives on neglect, preferring dry soil with no fertilization. If the soil becomes too wet, the plant may suffer from root rot or other fungal diseases. Control weeds to prevent them from competing with the slow developing thyme. Mulch may help to keep the leaves clean and discourage weeds
