Growing Tips
For dried thyme, cut the entire plant to 2 inches above the ground just before it flowers in the early summer. Dry the leaves in the shade.
*These seeds are easy to sow, with a fun color coating that helps them germinate. However, the coating adds a few days to the germination time as compared to uncoated seeds.
