Burpee Common Thyme Seeds

Thyme, a Versatile Culinary Herb

Thyme is one of the most widely used culinary herbs. It is grown both as a decorative and functional plant in many home gardens, where bees utilize its pollen to produce delectable honey. This hardy herb is easy to grow and adapts well to a variety of soil types and climatic conditions, making it a perennial favorite in USDA zones 4-8.

The aromatic leaves of thyme are a versatile seasoning, enhancing the flavors of meats, poultry, stews, sauces, soups, and dressings. Each packet of Burpee thyme seeds contains approximately 1,800 seeds, providing ample opportunity to cultivate this fragrant herb.

To get your thyme off to a strong start, sow the seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the average last frost date, using a Burpee seed starting kit. Transplant the seedlings to the garden 4 weeks after the average last frost date, ensuring they have ample time to establish themselves. Thyme typically reaches a height of 6 inches and a spread of 6 inches, yielding 3-inch leaves.
