📋 Instructions & Growing Tips

After (optional) cold stratification, sow indoors 8-10 weeks before the last spring frost. Press onto soil gently, with only the lightest of covering, to allow light for germination. Transplant hardened 3-4" seedlings to dry, loose soil after the last frost. Thin to 1 plant per pot or space 12-18" apart. Water sparingly, at the base of the plant, allowing soil to dry out between times. (Over watering is Thyme’s biggest threat.) To harvest, snip about half of a tender, non-flowering stem.

Cold Stratification. It's a Must! Thyme seeds tend to have low germination rates. For best results, place seed packets in the freezer for 2-6 weeks prior to planting. This process, known as cold stratification, simulates a short winter and improves germination as well as overall plant health. Read our blog post on Cold Stratification Explained!

Help Thyme reach it's potential. Prune the tender, flavorful, stems regularly to encourage growth. Never cut the heavier wooded base though. 

Wit & Wisdom: Burning thyme can help get rid of insects in your house. To learn more about growing Thyme Read The Old Farmer's Almanac Thyme Growing Guide!

Companion Planting: Plant thyme next to cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower & brussels sprouts to deter cabbage worm.
