Creeping Thyme Seeds for Low-Growing, Fragrant Groundcover

Product details
Creeping Thyme (Thymus serpyllum) is a hardy, evergreen groundcover well known for its low-growing, spreading habit and aromatic foliage. Producing tiny purple or pink flowers, this drought-tolerant perennial thrives in sunny, well-drained, and rocky or sandy soils. With excellent tolerance to foot traffic, it is perfect for use as a lawn substitute, in rock gardens, between pavers, or as aromatic edging.

How to grow Creeping Thyme
Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost, sowing thinly on the surface of moist seed-starting mix, pressing lightly but not covering as seeds require light to germinate. Germination usually takes 2-3 weeks. Transplant seedlings outdoors after frost risk passes, spacing 6-12 inches apart to allow spreading.

Growing conditions
Thrives in USDA zones 4-9 with full sun to light shade. Prefers well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soils. Sensitive to overwatering and heavy clay soils.

Planting tips
