As with many species in the mint family, the flowers of Wild Thyme are very attractive to honey bees and wild bees. Parts of the Wild Thyme flower are used medicinally. It can be taken to treat respiratory problems such as coughs, bronchitis, and swollen airways. It has also been used to treat kidney and bladder problems, poor blood circulation, bad cholesterol, and colic. FAST FACTS Groundcover Specifications Season: Perennial USDA Zones: 3 - 9 Height: 6 - 12 inches Bloom Season: Summer Bloom Color: Purple Growth Rate: Moderate Environment: Full sun to partial shade Foot Traffic: LIght Deer Resistant: Yes Latin Name: Thymus Pulegioides HOW TO PLANT CREEPING THYME SEEDS DETAILED CREEPING THYME PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS Start indoors 6-8 weeks prior to your last frost. Soil Temperature: 65-70 degrees Average Germination Time: 14-21 Days at 65-70 degrees Planting Time: Sow Creeping Thyme seeds in starter trays 6-8 weeks prior to the end of frost season for transplanting out in the garden. Soil Depth: Press the seeds into the soil but do not cover. Seeds need light to germinate. Moisture: Keep the seeds moist until germination. Getting ready to plant outside: Harden off the seedlings for 7-10 days prior to transplanting outside. Then transplant out into the garden bed. Add compost at the time of planting to enrich the soil. Planting Location: Plant Thyme in full sun and in fast-draining soils. Thyme does not like wet soils and may rot in soils that hold water. Plant Spacing: 6-8 apart. Light Preference: Sun/Part-shade. In very hot climates thyme will need part-shade to do well. Soil Requirements: Creeping Thyme grows best in light, dry, well-drained soil. Note: Creeping Thyme will become woody and needs to be divided or replaced after 3-4 Years.. STARTING CREEPING THYME SEEDS OUTDOORS (do so at your own risk, Creeping Thyme seeds cannot be allowed to dry out before germinating and they take 7-21 days to germinate) Plant creeping thyme seeds directly outside after the danger of frost has passed. Soak seeds for 24 hours in warm water prior to planting. Prepare a seed bed, loosen the soil and remove weeds. Scatter the Creeping Thyme ground cover seeds evenly and press them lightly into the soil. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soaked. Do not allow seeds to dry out. These are tiny tiny seeds so if the top of the soil dries out the seeds will dry out and not germinate. Thyme prefers a sandy, dry soil. Avoid planting in heavy, wet soils.
