Description
Thyme is an aromatic plant from the labiate family. It prefers a bright, dry and rather nutrient-poor location.
Non hybrid
Not frost resistant
Growing tips
Thyme also thrives in poor, sandy soil. It is a light germinator, so the seeds should not be covered with soil. It is worth starting seedlings in advance, as the seeds are very fine and are otherwise easily outcompeted in the bed.
