Thymus serpyllum is a variety of low-growing Creeping Thyme with tiny leaves that deliver excellent flavour for seasoning. It works beautifully as a less formal edging along paths or planted between paving stones. This versatile plant also makes an attractive ground cover, especially when used near other perennials.
🌱 Seasonal Growing Guide
SPRING: sow in trays on the surface of the compost (seed is very fine), do not cover. Provide bottom heat (15-20°C) & minimum water as they are prone to damping off.  When large enough to handle harden off & plant them into their permanent position in late spring or early summer about 25-30cm apart.  They like a well-drained spot; they are drought tolerant and make a good edging plant.  Trim back older plants
SUMMER: take cuttings, trim after floweringÂ
WINTER: hardy if in a well-drained position
Harvest the evergreen leaves all year round. Â Use fresh or dried in your cooking.
