Planting and Care Instructions (From this Label)
After (optional) cold stratification, sow indoors 8-10 weeks before the last spring frost. Press onto soil gently, with only the lightest of covering, to allow light for germination. Transplant hardened 3-4" seedlings to dry, loose soil after the last frost. Thin to 1 plant per pot or space 12-18" apart. Water sparingly, at the base of the plant, allowing soil to dry out between times. (Over watering is Thyme's biggest threat.) To harvest, snip about half of a tender, non-flowering stem. Prune the tender, flavorful, stems regularly to encourage growth. Never cut the heavier wooded base though.
