Thyme is an easy-to-grow herb seed known for its strong flavour; it is best when combined with robust meat and vegetable dishes. Thyme herb seeds can be grown in your garden, in pots on the patio, or even indoors in a hydroponic smart garden. Thyme is the perfect herb to enhance soups, vegetables, and poultry, as well as red meat and dishes cooked with wine. Add thyme seeds to your garden and enjoy a garden teeming with life with these pollinator-attracting plants bringing in bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Looking to avoid the bugs? You can plant several companion plants alongside your thyme seeds, like English lavender, oregano, mint, and more.

How to Sow Seeds

Method: Sow directly and thin out.
Depth: Sow very thinly, 5mm (0.25 in) deep, in a coco fibre pot filled with coco fibre pellets.
Transplanting: Harden off and plant out from October to December.
Growing notes: Pick the leaves as required throughout the year. If they are to be dried, gather them just before the flowers begin to open. In cooler climates, start plants in pots. Thyme seeds like a warm, sunny position and well-drained soil.
