HOW TO PLANT CREEPING THYME SEEDS

DETAILED CREEPING THYME PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS

1.    Start indoors 6-8 weeks prior to your last frost.

2.    Soil Temperature: 65-70 degrees

3.    Average Germination Time: 14-21 Days at 65-70 degrees

4.    Planting Time: Sow Creeping Thyme seeds in starter trays 6-8 weeks prior to the end of frost season for transplanting out in the garden.

5.    Soil Depth: Press the seeds into the soil but do not cover. Seeds need light to germinate.

6.    Moisture: Keep the seeds moist until germination.

7.    Getting ready to plant outside: Harden off the seedlings for 7-10 days prior to transplanting outside. Then transplant out into the garden bed. Add compost at the time of planting to enrich the soil.

8.    Planting Location: Plant Thyme in full sun and in fast-draining soils.  Thyme does not like wet soils and may rot in soils that hold water.

9.    Plant Spacing: 6-8” apart.

10.                    Light Preference: Sun/Part-shade.  In very hot climates thyme will need part-shade to do well.

11.                    Soil Requirements: Creeping Thyme grows best in light, dry, well-drained soil.

Note: Creeping Thyme will become woody and needs to be divided or replaced after 3-4 Years..
