Mother of Thyme Seeds

Mother of Thyme is a fantastic groundcover choice for creating an enchanting border along your flower or vegetable garden, or for adding a cascading effect on terraced landscapes. Its dense growth habit and vibrant blooms bring a special charm to your outdoor space.

This hardy perennial thrives in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. It’s a tough plant that stands up well to various conditions, and its lush appearance belies its resilience. The flowers are a hit with butterflies and bees, and the strong scent keeps rabbits and deer at bay – a win-win for your garden.

Mother of Thyme stays evergreen in most climates and becomes drought-resistant once established, making it a versatile addition to any sunny patch. You’ll love the mat of slim stems, small oval leaves, and the summer burst of pink-purple flowers. It grows up to 3 inches tall and can spread out to 3 feet wide, providing an impressive groundcover.

For growing, treat Mother of Thyme like its relatives: sow directly into a sunny, well-drained area or start indoors. Germination takes patience, up to a month, but once the seeds take off, they’ll grow with vigor. If you want a full groundcover effect, plant them about 18 inches apart but avoid extremely cold or overly moist spots. As a proud Park Seed product, Mother of Thyme is ready to take root and beautify your garden. Packet contains approximately 1.5 grams.
