Thyme Creeping Red Herb Seeds

Thyme Creeping Red should be planted in spring. It will need the right conditions to grow, including well-drained soil and a full sun spot. However, it isn't very demanding beyond this.

You should water it to keep the soil moist, but avoid waterlogging. You should also be sure to weed the growing area thoroughly, especially during its first years of growth. It isn't typically affected by any diseases or pests, so should be easy to grow when all the aforementioned tasks are kept on top of.

Creeping Thyme Red will grow slowly in its first year. However, it can spread up to 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45cm) wide by the end of three years of growth, growing faster subsequently after its first year. Though, this is dependent on properly caring for the plant and creating optimal conditions for it to grow.

Creeping thyme is an evergreen perennial, meaning that it will keep its foliage throughout the year and also return for several years after its first growing season.
