Thyme Herb Heirloom Seeds
Thymus vulgaris
Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 20 seeds
Thyme is a must have culinary herb. Flavor is an earthy mix of mint and lemon. Bees love their purple flowers. I like to air dry my herbs in a hanging mesh herb drier for a few weeks and then store away. Thyme plants have a very delicate root system and is very susceptible to root root if there is too much moisture. I highly recommend to grow in a container/pot so it gets good drainage. Let the soil dry out between watering.
In Florida, most culinary herbs grow best during our fall, winter, and spring when we have our dry season. Herbs love warm & dry conditions. They do not like our rainy summers and tend to die off because of too much water. I grow all of my herbs in containers or grow bags which helps keep the soil drier and they tend to do much better.

Ideal Growing Conditions
Sun: Full Sun
Water: Allow the soil to dry out a little bit in-between watering.
Fertilizer: Herbs dont really need fertilizer. However, plants grow lush and green when given nitrogen, like organic blood meal.
When & How To Sow Seeds: Since seeds are so small and they take a long time to germinate, it is recommended that you so seeds indoors, 8 weeks before your last spring frost date, to monitor them closely. You can direct sow the seeds after your last spring frost date if you remember to check up on them. Sprinkle a few seeds over the soil surface, pat them down so they make contact, then water them in. Keep soil moist until germination.
Germination: 14-28 days
Days To Maturity: Around 3-4 months after direct sowing the seed or transplanting into the garden.
How & When To Harvest: Pick stems/leaves as needed
Common Diseases: Easily susceptible to root rot in soils that stay too moist. Growing in well draining soil, containers, or grow bags helps to prevent this.
Common Pests: None
Orders are shipped in 1-3 business days excluding holidays or delays due to natural disasters like hurricanes.
Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
Orders with live plants are packed on Mondays and Thursdays (excluding holidays or delays because of natural disasters. Plants are shipped in boxes with packaging material to protect them while they are in transit.
No returns or refunds once shipped. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages caused by USPS. Since there are so many factors that affect germination and growing success, no refunds or exchanges are allowed once seeds have shipped. These are the same seeds I use in my personal garden so I can attest to their viability. Seeds are fresh season to season.
