Creeping Thyme seeds provide the same great flavour as traditional thyme seeds. Creeping Thyme’s small flowers are rich in nectar for pollinators, making them great pollinator-attracting plants. Creeping Thyme is a hardy aromatic groundcover, which means it can easily tolerate hot and dry conditions. These herb seeds are ideal for growing between stepping stones, rockeries, and pots. Creeping Thyme is also commonly used as a lawn alternative for low-traffic areas.

How to Sow Seeds

Method: Sow your Creeping Thyme seeds in clumps 30cm (1 in) apart, 5mm (¼ in) deep, and cover with seed-raising mix.
Germination: Seedlings will emerge in 14–21 days.
Growing notes: Creeping Thyme likes a warm, sunny position and well-drained soil. Pick the leaves as required throughout the year. If they are to be dried, gather them just before the flowers begin to open. Soil Type Well drained.
