Thyme Large

For full on thyme flavour Large Thyme is hard to beat: it is evergreen, aromatic and will be covered in masses of flowers in the spring. Oh and the leaves are large, almost fleshy & rounded: easy to pick, chop and sprinkle. If left untrimmed it will grow into a bush about 30cm in size but trimming needn’t be a priority if you (and the bees) enjoy the flowers! Perennial. Latin name Thymus pulegoides

🌱 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 are happy in containers.  Trim established plants

SUMMER: take cuttings, trim after flowering or leave to grow into a bush (30cm hxw)

WINTER: if growing in containers keep dry and protect them from penetrating cold.

Harvest the evergreen leaves all year round:  aromatic & masses of spring flowers
