Shop nowOrganic Thyme Seeds define this category with a focus on reliable, aromatic foliage and classic culinary character. Often grown as Common Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), this woody perennial develops a neat, evergreen habit that fits seamlessly into herb patches, rockeries, and structured borders. Low, branching growth and fine leaves deliver a clean, resinous fragrance that stands up to regular harvests, making it a true herb garden staple. Selected Organic Garden Thyme Seeds in this range support consistent leaf quality for seasoning and finishing dishes, while maintaining the robust traits associated with a traditional Mediterranean herb. Expect tidy mounds that knit together edging and pathways, bringing texture, scent, and a subtle flowering display during warmer months.
As a drought tolerant herb with naturally aromatic foliage, thyme thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, plants form long-lived clumps that suit container gardening, raised beds, and companion planting with other warm, dry-loving herbs. Tiny, bee friendly flowers provide a gentle flowering display that supports pollinating insects, adding biodiversity to patio pots and mixed borders. The compact stature and woody perennial nature of Organic Thyme Seeds make them ideal for small spaces and rock garden settings, where an evergreen herb can contribute structure through the year. Subtle bloom tones harmonise easily with other low-growing perennials, keeping the look refined and cohesive without overwhelming nearby plantings.
This selection of Organic Thyme Seeds also aligns with kitchen needs: sprigs and leaves from Organic Culinary Thyme Seeds enhance roasts, marinades, and herb blends, while the neat habit fits window boxes and terrace containers. Seed-grown plants offer vigorous root systems and a uniform habit that responds well to light trimming, promoting dense growth and extended use. With its adaptable form, classic flavour, and pollinator friendly blossoms, this evergreen, woody perennial supports both practical harvesting and a refined, low-maintenance flowering display across containers and borders alike. Carefully chosen Organic Thyme Seeds deliver consistent results for cooks and gardeners seeking a resilient, full sun plant that remains attractive throughout the seasons.

Thymus vulgaris thrives in full sun and well-drained, light to moderately fertile soil. Start seeds indoors from late winter to spring, surface-sowing as germination is light-dependent; transplant after the last frost, with autumn sowing possible in mild climates. Keep the medium just moist, then water sparingly once established—this woody perennial is drought tolerant. Space plants about 20–30 cm apart; mature clumps reach a similar height, forming aromatic, evergreen foliage ideal for herb gardens, raised beds, and rockeries. Provide good air circulation and avoid rich feeding to maintain compact, flavorful growth.
Start Thymus vulgaris in full sun using a well-drained, light to moderately fertile seed mix. Surface sow the tiny seeds and mist to settle; keep evenly moist but never waterlogged. Maintain gentle warmth and airflow to deter damping off. After germination, grow on in bright light, potting up as roots fill. Harden off and transplant after the last frost into well-drained soil, spacing plants 20–30 cm apart. In mild climates, autumn sowing may be possible. Regular light harvesting encourages compact, aromatic foliage.
Sow indoors from late winter through spring so seedlings are ready to move outside after the last frost. Provide bright light and steady warmth; in mild climates, a cautious autumn sowing can also work. Germination is typically gradual, often taking about 10–21 days under warm, evenly moist conditions. Cooler temperatures or uneven moisture can extend this period. Seedlings benefit from bright light to stay stocky, and growth accelerates once roots establish and days lengthen.
Thyme is largely light-dependent for germination. Press seeds onto the surface of the medium without burying; if a covering is needed, use only a fine dusting of vermiculite or sifted mix, no more than 1–2 mm. Provide bright, indirect light and consistent, gentle moisture (a clear humidity cover can help early on). Good air movement and a free-draining medium reduce the risk of rot. Avoid heavy, wet composts that obscure light or hold water around the seed.
Direct sowing after the last frost is possible on a fine, weed-free, well-drained seedbed in full sun. Germination outdoors is slower and more variable; thin or transplant seedlings to 20–30 cm spacing as they develop true leaves. Plants typically reach about 20–30 cm in height. To maintain a neat, bushy habit, lightly trim after flowering or in early growth; avoid hard cuts into old woody stems. Frequent, modest harvests naturally encourage branching and a dense, culinary-friendly shape.
Choose a pot with ample drainage; a single mature plant is comfortable in a container around 20–30 cm wide. Use a gritty, free-draining mix (potting compost blended with sand, perlite, or fine gravel) and position in full sun. Water thoroughly, then allow the top layer to dry before watering again; avoid standing water in saucers. Feed sparingly, as overly rich media reduce aroma. Refresh the mix periodically and shear lightly to prevent legginess while preserving plenty of young, flavorful growth.
Common thyme is a woody perennial herb that often keeps foliage through mild winters, provided roots remain in well-drained soil. In bloom, its small, pale flowers are notably pollinator friendly, drawing bees and other beneficial insects to the garden. For a balance between culinary use and wildlife value, harvest regularly but allow some stems to flower. Self-seeding may occur in suitable conditions, though plants are generally longer-lived when maintained by light, periodic trimming rather than relying on volunteer seedlings.
Seeds are sourced from audited producers and supplied in compliance with applicable quality and phytosanitary standards. Lots are traceable and accompanied by supplier certificates, with purity and germination tested to industry norms; any treatments are declared on pack. Guidance provided here is general and may vary with microclimate, soil, hardiness zone, and hemisphere.

Thyme is a hardy, aromatic perennial prized for its compact habit and versatile flavour. It thrives in full sun and well-drained, low-fertility soils, making it suited to borders, rock gardens, and containers. Sow thinly on the surface and press seeds gently into the medium, as light aids germination. Start indoors before the last frost, or direct sow once soils warm and cold snaps have passed; in mild climates, late-season sowings may establish before winter. Keep evenly moist until seedlings emerge, then water sparingly, allowing the top layer to dry between waterings. Provide good airflow and trim lightly after flowering to encourage bushy growth. Once established, plants are drought-tolerant and produce small, evergreen leaves with pink to lavender blooms that attract pollinators. Harvest young sprigs as needed, taking care not to remove more than a third of the plant at a time. Included within the broader Organic Seeds range.
