After 3 years or so Thyme plants become woody, at this stage they should be dug up and carefully divided to make new plants. Thyme can be harvested throughout the year, however, its leaves taste best in June and July just before flowering. Container grown Thyme may benefit from a fortnightly liquid feed during the summer months Water only in very dry conditions and avoid feeding. Once established, Thyme requires very little attention.

Harvest sparingly during the first year allowing the plants to develop and mature. Gradually harden off the young plants, by moving the pots outside during the daytime and taking them back inside at night, for a couple of weeks before transferring them into their final growing positions. Once the seedlings are 2 to 4 inches tall, and the first true leaves have grown, thin them into individual 3 inch pots ready for planting out once they become pot bound. Seedlings should emerge within a couple of weeks. Keep the pots warm, preferably indoors or in a greenhouse. Sow Thyme seeds into small 3 or 4 inch pots from February through to May and cover with a thin layer of compost. Thyme can also be propagated by root division or from cuttings. We offer unique European sophisticated, hand-tied arrangements and home gifts. When grown from seed, Thyme takes up to a year to develop into a harvestable plant.
