Thyme seeds — tiny leaves, big Mediterranean flavour

Thyme is a cornerstone Mediterranean herb — tiny aromatic leaves that lift roasts, stews and stuffings, on a low, woody, evergreen plant that's as good in the garden as in the kitchen. The common culinary type is gathered under Thymus vulgaris within our culinary herb range. New to herbs? Our herb growing guide covers the basics.

Thyme is sown in spring — the herb calendar shows when.

Culinary and creeping thymes

Upright common thyme is the kitchen workhorse, while creeping and lemon thymes are wonderful between paving and at the front of borders, their summer flowers loved by bees. A tough evergreen perennial, thyme sits among our perennial and aromatic herbs.

Growing thyme from seed

Sow in spring on the surface of gritty, free-draining compost in full sun — thyme hates winter wet far more than drought. Once established it needs little care and is one of our most reliable drought-tolerant herbs.

Building a herb garden? Here's where to look next.
