Product Details
Unwins Thyme Seeds are a heavy cropping gardener's favourite with a highly aromatic smell. They are an essential kitchen herb that will transform almost any savoury dish with it's warm and subtle taste.
Thyme is also very attractive as an ornamental plant in pots or along the edges of borders and paths.
Thyme loves warmer temperatures and is drought tolerant. The herb therefore requires very little maintenance.

Sow: February to May
Harvest: June to September
Sowing
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and lightly cover with a little more compost. Place in warmth (10–15°C) and keep moist.
Growing On
Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant to 5cm apart into trays of potting compost, or individually into small pots.
Hardening Off / Planting Out
Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2–3 weeks before planting out. Allow 30cm between plants.
Advice
Pick leaves or sprigs often to encourage young new growth. A light annual trim with shears after flowering will neaten the bush. Do not trim too hard, as thyme does not regrow from old wood. Can be used fresh or dried.
