Plant Features

English Thyme is a low-growing variety with fragrant leaves most commonly used for seasoning meats, vegetables, vinegars, soups, stews, tomato sauces and cheeses. Thyme grows best in full sun locations with well-drained soils. Plants should be sheared back after flowering to keep the foliage from getting woody. It can be grown indoors within a few feet of a east, south, or west facing window. If grown indoors, potting mix should slightly dry before watering.

Our English Thyme Herb Plants are grown with a commitment to natural methods, ensuring they're healthy and robust. Guaranteed to arrive alive and thriving!

Planting Instructions:

- Can be planted anytime the soil temps are above 60F

Soil Preparation:

- Ideal soil pH: 6.0-8.0, prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soil
- Amend soil with gravel or coarse sand to enhance drainage, which is critical for healthy thyme plants

Watering Specifics:

- Water thoroughly but allow soil to dry between waterings; thyme is drought-tolerant once established
- Avoid excessive watering to prevent root rot

Fertilizer Type:

- Generally does not need much fertilizer; a light feeding in early spring can be beneficial
- Over-fertilizing can lead to lush foliage with diminished flavor

Pruning and Training:

- Prune in early spring to maintain shape and promote denser growth
- Regular harvesting of the tips will also encourage a fuller plant

Additional Pest Management:

- Thyme is generally resistant to pests and diseases but watch for fungal issues in humid conditions
- Good air circulation and proper soil drainage are crucial for preventing fungal diseases

Temperature Tolerance:

- Thyme is quite hardy and can tolerate a range of temperatures, but it may need protection from extreme cold
- In very cold climates, protect the plants with mulch or bring containers indoors

Very bushy and strong

I trimmed this plant in order to re-pot it and I'm drying the clippings for stew. I used some and they added great flavor to my dinner.

Best on-line nursery I've ever used

I was a little nervous when I ordered my alpine balcony geraniums. They arrived in perfect condition and were larger than I expected. From then on I check here first when I need plants. And when they have a sale, I stock up. Every order has arrived in perfect condition and start growing immediately. I replant them in pots first if I am not ready to put in ground. So glad I found this wonderful nursery.

Great quality

Ordered three herbs but would have liked another three... those were already sold out. Next year, I will make sure I order earlier in the season! Quality of the plants and quality of delivery containers are both fabulous. No problems with either. Love to order from you!

Hello Thyme-English Herb Plant

My Thyme-English Herb Plant arrived just as they said that it would and I truly love the way they packaged these Plants and prepare them for arrival to you.They are healthy and ready for you. I recommend this site for plants.

From Jannie | March 31, 2016

Happy Planter

My order was received alive (very good sized) and very well packed. They have been planted in containers on my balcony and are flourishing. I have been ordering from GrowJoy for at least four years and have always been pleased with the results. Last year I placed my order a bit late and some of the herbs I wanted were no longer available. I ordered from two other sources and was extremely disappointed in the results. The plants were small and sickly looking and a couple did not survive.

Thyme - English

Bought it a year ago. Plant arrived healthy and grew nicely during the summer. It survived through a very tough winter we had in the North East. I use it a lot in cooking.
