Thyme, Creeping (Thymus serpyllum) seeds, organic
$3.95 – $10.00
Family: Mint (Lamiaceae)
Hardy to Zones 4 to 9
Creeping groundcover native to temperate Europe. Flowers pink-purple to 3 inches. Generally more popular for filling the cracks in sidewalks than in eggs, the plant does have a certain presence, and a bit of a spiciness, especially if carefully dried and the dried leaves removed from the stem. The plant is preferred for decking out classic settings such as sundials and decorative fountains. Sow in flats and work up in small pots or plugs, then set out to 6 inches apart and a mat will soon form. To direct-seed, get the gram quantity and mix seed with sand to stretch it. Fill the cracks between pavers with sand and sprinkle the seeds on surface. Water daily until germination. The thyme will cover the cracks and become drought-tolerant as it matures and sends down its roots.
Packet contains 100 seeds
7,000 seeds per gram

Hi, I live in Florida a few miles away from the coast in zone 9. I bought this and Corsican mint. We have sandy soil and most of our back yard is shaded by trees. Front yard has a lot of open full sun areas. Hoping to get some herb coverage to fill in. Should I also wait until spring?

Hello Cara, I think you can get started anytime. Best to start seeds in pots and transplant out at 6-inch centers to achieve that coverage you’re talking about. Richo
