THYME - SHEPHERD'S THYME - ORGANIC

Thymus serpyllum

This small, prostrate, perennial herb will grow to
3 cm in height. It is a useful plant for ground
cover, rockeries, and garden borders. It is also very
suitable for container growing. The leaves have a
delicious lemony flavour and scent. It has masses
of lilac-pink coloured flowers that attract bees. Use
the fresh thyme leaves in soups, casseroles, stews,
or in seasoning for poultry, meat and fish dishes.
Sow the seeds in Spring, Summer and early
 Autumn in clumps spaced 30cm apart
The seeds should be pressed into the soil and
lightly water until germination has taken affect.
This can take up to 3-4 weeks.
Persevere with them because seed raised thyme
 plants do much better than plants grown from
division. The plants prefer full sunlight and once
established, will tolerate quite dry conditions.
 Ensure the position in which you plant your
seeds has good drainage.
