What are Creeping Thyme Seeds?

Mix Creeping Thyme (Thymus serpyllum) is a low-growing, sun-loving perennial groundcover plant that produces masses of tiny pink, white, and purple flowers throughout summer. These heirloom, Non-GMO seeds produce fragrant plants that spread beautifully between stepping stones, along pathways, and across garden beds, creating a colourful carpet of blooms that attracts bees and butterflies.

Why Grow Creeping Thyme?

•        Drought-tolerant once established — perfect for low-maintenance gardens

•        Fragrant — releases a pleasant herby scent when walked on or touched

•        Bee and butterfly magnet — excellent pollinator plant

•        Ground cover — suppresses weeds naturally once established

•        Perennial — comes back year after year with minimal care

•        Edible — leaves can be used as a culinary herb

Growing Instructions — Step by Step

1.     Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost, or direct sow after frost risk has passed

2.     Surface sow — press seeds lightly onto moist, well-draining seed compost. Do not cover — seeds need light to germinate

3.     Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination occurs in 14–21 days at 18–21°C (65–70°F)

4.     Once seedlings have 2–3 true leaves, transplant to final growing position

5.     Plant in full sun — at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day

6.     Space plants 15–30cm apart to allow spreading

7.     Water regularly for the first season until established, then reduce watering
