Frequently Asked Questions

What are the germination requirements for Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) seeds?
Thyme seeds are extremely small and photoblastic, requiring light to trigger germination. They should be surface-sown on the Seeds In A Cup medium and pressed gently without being buried.
What is the optimal temperature for Thyme seed germination?
Thyme seeds germinate best at temperatures between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius (64 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit), typically sprouting in 10 to 21 days.
How deep should Thyme seeds be planted?
Press the seeds gently onto the surface of the provided Premium Nutrient-Rich Potting Soil. Do not cover them with soil, as they require light to germinate.
What USDA Hardiness Zones are suitable for planting Thyme outdoors?
Thyme is a hardy perennial suitable for USDA Zones 5 through 9. It can survive winter freezing in these zones with minimal protection.
Can I grow Thyme indoors year-round?
Yes. Thyme is an excellent indoor herb.
Why does this kit use Premium Nutrient-Rich Potting Soil instead of compressed coir discs?
Tiny seeds like Thyme can easily get lost or washed too deep in the coarse fibers of expanding coir discs. Our Premium Nutrient-Rich Potting Soil provides a stable, uniform surface for surface-sown seeds.
