Homeowner Growing Tips

Easy to grow in average, dry to medium, well-draining soil. Tolerates drought and low soil-fertility. Cut back plants to limit the woody undergrowth and encourage more new greening. Harvest throughout the summer as needed and take some in to dry for the winter, too!

Thyme purchase

The thyme came in a box very carefully and thoughtfully packaged. I live in Florida and it was being sent from Michigan, I believe. The plants were green and healthy. I would not be afraid to order from this garden center again.
