Growing from Seed

Thyme

17 years ago

Greetings,

I am looking for a source of Wooley Thyme seeds in bulk. Do any of you know where I can find a source? I did find source for Magic Carpet Thyme and will be purchasing some.

Also, I am trying to get thyme, which will only grow 1"- 2" in height, to cover my miles of paths in my flowerbeds. When would be the best time to plant thyme seeds, Fall or Spring? Also, would it be best to directly sow them outside or begin them inside?

Thank you for your assistance.

Lady, you won't find seed available commercially for Thymus Pseudolanuginosus - it is propagated by cutting.

We have a wonderful company here in Ontario that sells herb seeds. I checked their site (they do sell in US$ too) and they only list plants for Wooly Thyme -- so I'd have to say that no seeds are available. If anyone sells them, Richter's would...

Check out their "plug" trays though. I've attached the link to their Wooly Thyme info.
