Overview

This classic culinary and ornamental perennial herb is perfect for rock gardens and can be used in teas during the winter to fend off colds. It’s taste has been described as a bit earthy with lemony and minty tones.

Conditions

For soil, use a potting mix that’s tailored for vegetables and herbs. For the best quality leaves, provide full sun (6 or more hours of direct sunlight). Thyme grows best in light, dry, well-drained soil.

Planting

Use our grow calendar tool to find specific dates for your region! Seeds germinate in 14-21days. 

Start seeds indoors in flats 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds on top of the growing medium and cover with a thin layer of soil mix. Keep moist until germination. Transplant to individual containers when plants have 4 true leaves. After the last frost in spring, transplant outside and space 6-8" apart, in rows 12-18" apart. Pinch off growing tips of upright growing varieties to make bushier plants.

Care

If you keep pruning your thyme plant, it will keep growing (and also keep a compact shape). But always leave at least five inches of growth so the plant will continue to thrive. Trim thyme whenever it gets leggy.

Harvest

Harvest thyme just before the plant flowers by cutting off the top five to six inches of growth. Leave the tough, woody parts.

Cut only a few stems the first year in order for the plants to winter over. In subsequent years, harvest just as the flowers start to open by cutting back to within 4-5" above the ground. Thyme will become woody and needs to be divided or replaced after 3-4 years. 

Fresh thyme should be stored refrigerated and wrapped lightly in plastic; it should last one to two weeks. To dry thyme, hang the sprigs in a dark, well-ventilated, warm area. You can also just dry the leaves by placing them on a tray. Once dried, store them in an airtight container. Crush just before using.

Exactly what I wanted and more
Scent: Unscented, Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
No odor, slightly greasy but thats to be expected. I apply it on my face before bed. I live in a dry desert so this is amazing for my skin. Within a couple days my skin looked glowly and hydrated. I even feel like my very fine lines are less noticeable (I'm only 27). My husband even commented how good my skin looks and he has no idea I even switched face moisturizer. I have sensitive and dry skin so I am very pleased. I wake up feeling great with this product. It's a heavy balm but I expected that so I really don't mind.

Not sure
Scent: Unscented, Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Initially it has a very greasy feeling and takes quite a long time to absorb. Once absorbed it feels very nice. It is a very nice thick tallow, quality seems very good.

Moisturizing
Scent: Unscented, Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
A little goes a very long way with this product. It feels amazing and makes my skin so soft. It pairs well with my snail mucin. My skin looks beautiful. Just be careful not to use too much copilot said it can cause breakouts but I’ve been using it every other day for a week now with no break outs. I also pair it with a beef tallow serum.

Sand paper residue
Scent: Unscented, Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I ordered this in march just started to use it. I’m not sure if I got a bad batch according to reviews, however it’s like rubbing on sand paper it leaves a white residue on your skin . After it heats up you can rub most of it in but I wouldn’t reorder. It does moisturizer but the sandpaper feeling is not worth the trouble. :(

Perfect moisturizer
Scent: Unscented, Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This stuff is good. It doesn't have a smell at all, so it's not irritating at all. it feels so good and a little does go a long ways. it's such a good price for a good amount compared to others that is half the size and twice the price. Simple very good ingredients. Love love love. A must have.
