When to plant:
Outdoors: Direct sow in late spring when temperatures are consistently above 60°F (15°C).
Indoors: Start seeds 8-10 weeks before the last frost.
Where to plant:
Light: Full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day).
Soil: Well-draining, sandy or rocky soil with neutral to slightly alkaline pH.
Spacing: 6-12 inches apart for ground cover.
How to plant:
Prepare the seedbed: Loosen the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches and remove any weeds or debris.
Sow the seeds: Scatter seeds evenly over the soil surface. Do not cover them, as they need light to germinate.
Press the seeds: Gently press the seeds into the soil to ensure good contact.
Water: Mist the soil gently but thoroughly to avoid displacing the seeds. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination.
Additional tips:
Starting indoors: Sow seeds in seed trays filled with seed-starting mix. Cover the tray with plastic wrap to maintain humidity. Once seedlings have a few true leaves, transplant them outdoors after hardening them off. Thinning: If seedlings are too dense, thin them out to 6-12 inches apart.
Watering: Water regularly during germination and establishment, then reduce frequency as the plants mature.
Note: Creeping thyme seeds can take 2-3 weeks to germinate, so be patient. With proper care, you can enjoy a beautiful and fragrant ground cover in your garden.
