Overview

This classic culinary and ornamental perennial herb is perfect for rock gardens and can be used in teas during the winter to fend off colds. It’s taste has been described as a bit earthy with lemony and minty tones.

Conditions

For soil, use a potting mix that’s tailored for vegetables and herbs. For the best quality leaves, provide full sun (6 or more hours of direct sunlight). Thyme grows best in light, dry, well-drained soil.

Planting

Use our grow calendar tool to find specific dates for your region! Seeds germinate in 14-21days. 

Start seeds indoors in flats 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds on top of the growing medium and cover with a thin layer of soil mix. Keep moist until germination. Transplant to individual containers when plants have 4 true leaves. After the last frost in spring, transplant outside and space 6-8" apart, in rows 12-18" apart. Pinch off growing tips of upright growing varieties to make bushier plants.

Care

If you keep pruning your thyme plant, it will keep growing (and also keep a compact shape). But always leave at least five inches of growth so the plant will continue to thrive. Trim thyme whenever it gets leggy.

Harvest

Harvest thyme just before the plant flowers by cutting off the top five to six inches of growth. Leave the tough, woody parts.

Cut only a few stems the first year in order for the plants to winter over. In subsequent years, harvest just as the flowers start to open by cutting back to within 4-5" above the ground. Thyme will become woody and needs to be divided or replaced after 3-4 years. 

Fresh thyme should be stored refrigerated and wrapped lightly in plastic; it should last one to two weeks. To dry thyme, hang the sprigs in a dark, well-ventilated, warm area. You can also just dry the leaves by placing them on a tray. Once dried, store them in an airtight container. Crush just before using.

Nice necklace for the price
Color: Silver, Style: S
Niece loved the present. It looks great. Quality and look is great for the price. Chain length is good. I got it for my 6 year old niece, so it’s lays a little low on her, but she loves it. Happy with the purchase!

LOVE LOVE LOVE

This jewelry stand is so beautiful and adequately holds all of my jewelry. It perfectly fits in with my gothic victorian-esque bedroom, and honestly amplifies that aesthetic further. I love using the trays for necklaces and bracelets. It looks to be of very high quality and seems extremely sturdy, partly because it’s made of metal. It came fully assembled in the box which was very convenient. Honestly, I was hesitant to buy it since it is a little pricey, but it was worth every penny.

Very pretty
Color: White
This is a very pretty earring tree and not too big. Earrings show up well. Only downfall is there is a slight tipping forward of the actual tree. You have to wiggle it around to make it totally straight and just tightening the nut underneath is not enough, it takes some adjusting. That is not enough to reduce the rating since it is so pretty and the tray below is great.

Very pretty and fairly sturdy
It comes unassembled but is easy to put together. I will be adding a bit of glue so it does not turn after assembled but it doesn't affect the functionality. It looks very nice and holds a lot of earrings. I'm using it for a few companion necklaces as well. The tray is nice for bangles and rings. I really like this tree!
