Care guide

Uses

<p>The aromatic leaves season soups, stews, roasted vegetables, meats, breads and herb blends, used fresh or dried. Thyme is also a fragrant ornamental edging and a good bee plant for the garden.</p>

Growing tips

<p>Surface-sow the tiny seeds and barely cover with a fine dusting of soil, about <strong>3 mm</strong>, in trays or pots. Germination is slow, taking <strong>14-21 days</strong>, so keep the surface lightly moist and warm. Transplant seedlings <strong>20-30 cm apart</strong> into free-draining pots. Begin harvesting sprigs once plants are established, around <strong>90-100 days</strong> from sowing, trimming regularly to keep them compact.</p>
