This product contains approximately 350 organic seeds and lists a 90-day reference. Its low habit suits rock gardens, borders, herb beds, and well-drained containers. In early summer, small white to pink flowers attract bees and other pollinators. Fresh or dried leaves flavour sauces, vegetables, marinades, soups, meat, and fish. The name “summer” describes this product without identifying a particular cultivar or subspecies, so plants are identified as \u003cem\u003eThymus vulgaris\u003c\/em\u003e. Seedlings may vary modestly in form, aroma, and vigour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart seed indoors eight to ten weeks before the last frost in fine, well-drained mix. Scatter the tiny seeds on the surface, press gently, and barely cover because deep sowing impairs emergence. Maintain approximately 18–22°C and light, consistent moisture without saturating the mix. Germination generally takes 14–28 days. Provide bright light immediately after emergence to produce compact plants. Pot up carefully, then harden seedlings gradually. Plant in full sun and light, sandy or gravelly, neutral to alkaline soil with excellent drainage, leaving 25–35 cm between plants. Water during establishment, then allow the surface to dry slightly between deep waterings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBegin with small harvests once plants are well established. With clean scissors, cut leafy stems before or as flowering begins without cutting heavily into the woody base. Retain enough green growth to support recovery. Use sprigs fresh or dry them in small bundles in a shaded, well-ventilated place. After flowering, shorten tender shoots lightly to maintain a compact clump; avoid severe pruning into old wood. Once rooted, thyme tolerates short dry periods. In cold climates, protect the crown mainly from standing water and shelter containers from repeated winter rain. Container-grown roots need additional protection because they are more exposed to freezing and thawing cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biologiquement vôtre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52108256149664,"sku":"BIOV-SEMENCES","price":4.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/3878\/5440\/files\/ThymD_Etebio.jpg?v=1770395358"},{"product_id":"graines-thym-rampant-thymus-serpyllum","title":"Creeping Thyme","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Fragrant and Attractive Ground Cover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong\u003eCreeping thyme 'Thymus Serpyllum'\u003c\/strong\u003e ( \u003cem\u003eThymus serpyllum\u003c\/em\u003e ), offered by Semences OSC.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Creeping thyme is a robust and aromatic perennial, ideal for dry and sunny locations.
