Thyme, Creeping (Thymus serpyllum) seeds, organic

Family:  Mint (Lamiaceae)

Hardy to Zones 4 to 9

Creeping groundcover native to temperate Europe.  Flowers pink-purple to 3 inches.  A good pollinator plant, visited voraciously by bees, syrphids, butterflies and moths.  Source of thymol and carvacrol.  The herb does have a bit of spiciness, especially if carefully dried and the stems removed. The plant is preferred for decking out classic settings such as sundials and decorative fountains.  Popular for filling the cracks in sidewalks, between stepping stones or as a creeping, covering, blooming landscape accent.  Sow in flats and work up in small pots or plugs, then set out to 6 inches apart and a mat will soon form.  To direct-seed, get the gram quantity and mix seed with sand to stretch it.   Fill the cracks between pavers with sand and sprinkle the seeds on surface.  Water daily until germination.  The thyme will cover the cracks and become drought-tolerant as it matures and sends down its roots.
