Organic Thyme Seeds
Perennial | Culinary Herb | Pollinator-Friendly
Approx. 700 Seeds per Packet (2,800 seeds/gram)
Organic Thyme is a fragrant and flavorful perennial herb that no kitchen garden should be without. Renowned for its robust, earthy flavor, thyme pairs beautifully with poultry, game meats, stews, sauces, and marinades. Growing just 15–30 cm (6–12") tall, this low-maintenance plant is ideal for garden beds, containers, and herb spirals.
Thyme is also a top choice for pollinator gardens, as its delicate blooms produce high-quality nectar and pollen, attracting bees and beneficial insects. It’s especially valued by beekeepers for producing flavorful, aromatic honey. Hardy in Zones 4–9, thyme is both tough and versatile.
