This non-GMO, heirloom variety is perfect as a ground cover, edging plant, or pollinator attractor in gardens. It is drought-tolerant and thrives in various soil conditions, making it a great choice for low-maintenance landscaping. 🌱 How to Grow: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors after frost danger has passed. Sprinkle seeds lightly on the soil surface and press gently—do not cover, as they need light to germinate. Soil: Prefers well-draining, sandy or loamy soil (pH 6.0-8.0). USDA Zones: 4-9, cold-hardy and heat-tolerant. Best Time to Plant: Spring or early fall. Germination: 14-21 days with warmth and light moisture. Bloom Time: Mid to late summer, with continuous flowering in warm climates. ☀️ Plant Care: Full sun (6+ hours daily) for best growth and flowering. Water sparingly, as thyme prefers dry to moderately moist soil. No need for heavy fertilization; occasional compost or organic fertilizer is sufficient. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage regrowth. Drought-tolerant once established, making it a perfect choice for rock gardens and pathways. 🌿 A great addition to any herb garden, Creeping Thyme provides beauty, fragrance, and a natural ground cover that attracts bees and butterflies!
