Thyme — Summer seeds

$2.50

Summer Thyme, also known as "Garden Thyme" and "Common Thyme",  is an evergreen perennial herb that produces grey-green, narrow leaves with a distinct aroma and flavour. Summer Thyme can grow to around 30cm tall and tends to 'bush out'. As the stems age they become 'woody'. Woody thyme is perfectly fine to eat, but it is best to trim these stems away to stimulate new plant growth. The leaves are generally stripped away from the stem and used as flavouring. The leaves hold an earthy, slightly sweet, floral taste and are great for flavouring soups, stews, potatoes, and tomato-based dishes. Summer Thyme is great  for growing in pots, grow bags, and containers.

Leave approximately 30cm between rows of Summer Thyme. Keep soil moist (but not soggy!). Ideally, sow seeds when the temperature is between 18 to 21°C. Germination occurs within 14 to 21 days.
