Thymus Serpyllum - Creeping Thyme

Thymus Serpyllum - Creeping Thyme is a species of flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae, native to most of Europe and North Africa. The Thymus is a showy dwarf shrub that blooms from early to mid-summer. The blooms on this low maintenance shrub grow in clusters producing massive amounts of fragrant petite pinkish-purple flowers that are rich with nectar that butterflies can't resist. The leaves are in opposite pairs, nearly stalkless, with linear elliptic round-tipped blades and untoothed margins. Easy to grow and doesn’t demand extra attention; just needs trimmed back as needed to keep a neat appearance. Popular to use as ground cover, and commonly referred to as “magic carpet.” The hardy plant tolerates some pedestrian traffic and produces odors ranging from heavily herbal to lightly lemon, depending on the variety.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!

SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!

ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.

DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.

Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
