HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow bulk creeping thyme seeds in spring, planting just below the surface of the soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 2-3 weeks. This plant can also be started indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost of spring.
Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. Though they prefer average or slightly moist soil, mature plants tolerate drought and poor soil as well as rocky soil or gravel. This plant will self-seed readily, and attracts butterflies and bees. It makes an excellent ground cover or border plant. Mature plants can be divided.
Harvesting: Creeping thyme blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors as ground cover.
Seed Saving: After the inconspicuous flowers fade, the tiny seeds will develop in the dried flower head. Shake the ripening plant over a container to remove the mature seed. Keep the bulk creeping thyme seeds in a cool, dry place.

All the products I have purchased from Everwilde have been Great.
Arrived quickly
My seeds arrived very quickly after ordering. They are professionally packaged and of a current supply. Once planted I'm anticipating that they come up as expected. I'm happy with my order.

Delivery was fast and efficient. Seeds haven't sprouted yet so I have no further comments at this time.

Creeping Thyme

Arrived quickly!
All of the seed packets arrived quickly. Thanks so much! I haven't planted them yet so I can't say more. The chervil won't go in until late September. The thyme is going in as soon as the landscape crew finishes putting the dirt between the flagstone they've put down.

I'm impressed with the order so far. They shipped fairly quickly, and the seeds came in a nice resealable milar bag. Can't wait to plant them to see how they grow!
