Growing TIps
When to Sow Outdoors:
- Direct sow 1 to 2 weeks after your last average frost date, when soil temperatures have warmed to at least 68°F.
- Choose a well-draining location with full sun to part shade
When to Start Indoors: (Recommended for best results)
- Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last expected frost date
- Keep soil temperature between 70°–80°F for optimal germination
- Use a light, well-draining seed-starting mix
- (link opens in new tab/window)
- (link opens in new tab/window)
- and maintain even moisture until germination
- After the risk of frost has passed, harden off seedlings gradually before transplanting them into a permanent outdoor location with well-draining soil
Days to Emerge: Thyme seeds can be slow to sprout, typically taking 14–28 days
Moisture Needs: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination
Seed Depth: Sow seeds ⅛ inch deep—cover lightly or simply press into the soil surface
Plant Spacing: Thin or transplant seedlings 8 inches apart to allow for healthy airflow and root development
Row Spacing: Maintain 12 inches between rows for easy access and maintenance
Days to Maturity: Ready for first harvest in about 85 days, though thyme becomes more vigorous in its second year
Long-Term Care: Once established, thyme is drought-tolerant and thrives with minimal maintenance
