Strictly Medicinal Thyme

This set features four distinct, organic thyme varieties selected for their versatility in both culinary seasoning and medicinal tea brewing. While the specific cultivars may vary by season to ensure optimal quality, each is chosen for its hardiness and ability to dry well for year-round use.

Thyme is excellent for container gardening, provided you use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with adequate drainage holes. Because they thrive in limey, well-draining soil, containers often make it easier to control the soil composition and moisture levels compared to garden beds.

You can expect germination to begin within 5 days under the right conditions. For the best results, ensure they are planted in the spring and receive plenty of full sun.

These thyme varieties are hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9. If you are in the lower end of that range, they should survive the winter, though they may benefit from a light mulch cover during particularly harsh freezes.

Thyme is relatively low-maintenance once established. They prefer full sun and well-draining soil, and they will benefit from regular applications of organic compost to keep the soil healthy and nutrient-rich.
