Common Thyme is a Thymus vulgaris perennial with a low mound of dark green tiny leaves and tiny white summer flowers that draw bees. Sow on the surface with a light cover, a few seeds every 2-3 inches thinned to 10-12 inches, with sprouts in 10-21 days.
Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow outdoors 1-2 weeks before frost at 65-75 degrees. Snip leaves for culinary, medicinal and ornamental use.
