Mother of Thyme Seeds
Mother of Thyme Seeds
A perennial Thyme that is perfect for Living Walls and hanging baskets!
Mother of Thyme is dense with a spreading habit that makes it the ideal groundcover, trailer in containers, or addition to any Living Wall. It has a rich fragrance and bright blooms which add immeasurably to the appeal of this plant.
This perennial thyme is very adaptable and tough, though to look at its lush display, you would never guess at its resilience! The blooms attract butterflies and bees, while the intense fragrance seems to deter nibbling rabbits and deer. The perfect combination!
Evergreen in most areas and quite drought-resistant once it has become established, Mother of Thyme is a good choice for just about any bare, sunny, well-drained patch of soil. This prostrate, mat-forming perennial with slim stems is lined with tiny, oval, hairy leaves. Clusters of pink-purple flowers appear in summer on plants that reach ½ to 3 inches tall and up to 3 feet wide.
Grow Mother of Thyme as you would other thyme varieties: direct-sow in well-drained garden soil receiving full sun. For best coverage as a groundcover, avoid planting in very cold or wet areas, and space plants 18 inches apart. Zones 4-9. Pkt is 100 seeds.

This MicroGreen Growing Kit comes with everything you need to grow your own super nutritious microgreens no matter how little space you have to work with.
Microgreens are perfect for a beginner gardener because they are harvested as soon as they put on their first true leaves (i.e., you don't have to keep them alive as long as other their mature versions). They may be micro in size, but not in nutrition. Leaves from all ten of the microgreens in this Kit have four to six times more nutrients than their mature leaves of the same plant, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and other phytochemicals.
