Organic thyme (Thymus vulgaris), offered by the seed company Aimers
This heirloom perennial forms a dense, fine, greyish-green, highly aromatic foliage with a low, spreading habit. Its warm, concentrated flavor is ideal for seasoning poultry, game dishes, stews, sauces, and marinades. Once established, thyme becomes vigorous and undemanding, while also producing nectar-rich flowers that are highly valued by pollinators.
Propagation: Direct sowing or indoor sowing in spring
Plant height: 15 to 30 cm
Package size: Approximately 700 seeds
Harvest time: Approximately 65 days
Frost tolerance: Frost resistant
Companion plants: Cabbage, tomatoes, eggplants
Incompatible plants: Soils that are too wet
Planting and maintenance:
Sow outdoors from mid to late spring, or start seeds indoors and transplant once all risk of frost has passed. Plant thyme in full sun, in light, well-drained soil. Water moderately, only during dry periods, and fertilize lightly to preserve the potency of the essential oils. Harvest whole sprigs as needed.
