Propagating by seed
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
To grow thyme from seed, sow into small pots (5cm diameter) in potting compost in early Spring, indoors, or in a greenhouse. Cover with a very thin layer of potting compost and keep the pots warm. Seedlings should emerge within a week. Thin to 2-3 seedlings and keep the compost moist.
Propagating by cuttings
From Late Spring TO Early Summer
Propagating thyme by cuttings is very easy - you can really just break a piece of and stick it in the soil, and chances are it will grow! The proper way is to take several cuttings 3"-4".Remove the leaves from the lower 2", and place the cuttings around the edge of a pot of compost. Water.
Flowering
From Early Summer TO Late Summer
Thyme flowers through the Summer months.
Planting
From Mid Spring TO Early Summer
Plant out seedlings or cuttings grown indoors, into well-draining soil. Space about 6" apart. Water well when first planted, and thereafter water only when the soil is dry
