## Description

Grow Wild Creeping Thyme from fresh Thymus serpyllum seeds. Wild Creeping Thyme is a low growing herb that produces masses of beautiful purple flowers. Each branch bares clusters of roughly 10 to 30 flowers atop slender stems. The plants are compact, forming stems that lay down to trail the ground beneath. Each plant grows to a mature height of only 6 to 12 inches tall. Wild Creeping Thyme is often used as a groundcover plant because of its fast, trailing growth habits. The plants can cover a large area with a few thousand seeds and will flower a few weeks later. Wild Creeping Thyme is popularly sown in rock gardens, along borders, fences & walkways, in containers & pots, or directly in the garden. This versatile groundcover also looks great when grown between pavers and stepping stones as well. The uses of Wild Creeping Thyme are endless.

Review: 40,000 seeds planted without a single thyme appearance. UPDATE Five Stars - UPDATE June 2022 - Last year I was very unhappy (see my 2021 complaint below). This year I noticed beautiful, large patches of thyme. It took an entire season to establish (I live in MN). Wish I had known before I left a negative review. Prepare the area to be planted and be patient. I planted two bags of seeds in a freshly tilled area after the last freeze. Was excited when I saw groups of plants pushing through the soil. All turned out to be clover. Not a single thyme seed germinated. Lots of clover though. Almost as if it was clover that was sown. 40,000 seeds without a single thyme plant. What are the odds?
Review: Disappointing Quality: Seed Needs Wild Creeping Thyme Seeds - Seed Needs Wild Creeping Thyme Seeds receive a disappointing 1/5 rating due to their poor quality and performance. Despite being marketed as heirloom seeds, many users found them to be unreliable and inconsistent. Germination rates were abysmally low, with numerous reports of seeds failing to sprout altogether. Even under optimal conditions, the resulting plants often lacked vigor and failed to thrive. Additionally, some customers received seeds that appeared old or stale, further diminishing their viability. For those seeking reliable thyme seeds for planting, Seed Needs Wild Creeping Thyme Seeds prove to be a regrettable choice, offering little value for the investment.

## Features

- Ground Cover - Wild Creeping Thyme is a great choice to cover larger areas in the garden. It is especially sought after for populating rock gardens as well.
- Perennial Flowers - Thyme is categorized as a perennial flowering plant. The plants develop a deep root system which allows them to return the year after they initially grow.
- Easy to Establish - Simply toss the seed down to the surface of the soil and give them a good watering each day. Before you know it the tiny sprouts will be appearing all over the garden.
- Smells Great - Thyme is a very sought after herb due to its strong scent. If the leaves and stems are crushed, the smell of Thyme can deter mosquitos.
- Quality - All Thyme seeds packaged by Seed Needs are intended for the current and the following growing seasons. All seeds are stored in a temperature controlled facility that is free of significant amounts of moisture.
- Quantity - Seed Needs offers generous quantities. You can share with friends and family, or you can save the extra seeds until the following season, if properly stored.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm so happy with these
*by C***. on 24 July 2012*

I didn't decide to plant a ground cover by the side of the house until June when it was too late to start the seeds in pots so I loosened up the soil, added some bagged outdoor planting soil, mixed it in the top few inches, raked the space, and sprinkled the seeds on top. I ran a hose over there with sprinklers attached and watered them 4 times a day or so for the first 7-10 days. Once they were popping up all over the place I gradually reduced the watering so that now, about six weeks after planting, I'm watering every 2nd or 3rd day, depending on how hot it is. The spot they're in is part shade/part sun so if it were full sun I think I'd have to water a lot more at this time of year (July) to ensure they didn't dry up and die. They probably won't flower as much over there as they would in full sun but it looks like they'll form a nice dense cover which is what I wanted. I ended up having to order two packs of 20,000 seeds because I was sprinkling them right out of the packet the first time which was stupid. I thought I was being so careful but was only half through my space when the packet was empty. These seeds are TINY!!! The second time, I sprinkled them in my palm so I could see better how many I was distributing and that worked great. So I planted waaaay too many seeds in that space and there is such a thick carpet of thyme now. Perhaps I should thin them but I'm tempted to just leave them and let them work it out. I've posted a photo showing the little plants at this point growing around the paving stones. If planted properly and watered, these seeds are fantastic. A little pricey, but they do the job and are a heck of a lot cheaper than buying the little plugs.
