Creeping Thyme

Thymus praecox 'Albiflorus'  • 

Planting

From begin April to mid May    · once

The ideal time for planting creeping thyme is spring, about a month after the last frost. Spring planting ensures that the plant will become established before harsh summer weather. Like most Mediterranean herbs, thyme requires well-draining soil of average fertility.

If your schedule demands a summer planting, creeping thyme should be lightly mulched and kept watered until it is established. If you plant in the fall, plant about six weeks before the first frost to prevent damage to unestablished roots.
