When to Sow Thyme Seeds

The ideal time to sow thyme seeds can vary depending on your area’s climate. Generally, the best time to sow these seeds is in spring or early autumn. However, between autumn and spring is recommended for subtropical climates, while the dry season is recommended for tropical climates.

How to Grow Thyme Seeds

Growing thyme from seed is super simple, making it an ideal choice for beginner and experienced gardeners alike. It thrives when grown in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Ideally, your thyme should be receiving at least six hours of sunlight a day.

Once growing, only water your plants sparingly, as thyme prefers dry conditions. Also, be sure to prune your plants after they flower to encourage new growth. You then harvest sprigs of thyme with garden hand tools, specifically secateurs or sharp scissors, as needed.

Kicking off Your Autumn Growing

As thyme seeds are commonly grown in autumn, you can grow them alongside our autumn vegetable seeds to have a wealth of crops flourishing in the following months. So, there are several autumn companion planting recommendations we have to enhance your garden.

Growing thyme seeds alongside brassicas, such as cabbage seeds and broccoli seeds, can help deter pests. Try growing thyme next to rows of carrot seeds to support root development and attract beneficial insects.

Not only are there plants that benefit thyme, but it’s also beneficial for your garden itself! Thyme doesn't just smell good to us; it also smells great to pollinators. These pollinator-attracting seeds can bring bees, butterflies, and other essential insects to your garden.
