Keep your pot\/tray under cool lights until germination. Thyme needs a cool and moist environment to germinate. These germinate very slowly and the difficult part is keeping them cool, moist, and exposed to light (during the day) for 30 days. Letting them get too hot, or letting your potting soil dry out, sends a message to the seeds that it's not time to germinate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLEASE READ:  Creeping Thyme can be very challenging to direct sow.  You need temperatures to stay in the 60 to 70 range, and moist conditions, for the seeds to successfully germinate outdoors.  If direct sowing it's best to mix you seeds with some fine dry sand and use a shaker to distribute them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eONCE AGAIN - Thyme will not germinate in hot weather so if you miss a winter or early spring sowing, and want to try direct sowing them save them and try sowing them once your weather stays near 60-70 degrees for a couple of weeks. If it is summer, and you want to try to germinate them, your will have to sow them in pots under lights inside your house in temps between 60-70.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0414\/7707\/9206\/products\/creepingthyme4.jpg?v=1629903670\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0414\/7707\/9206\/products\/creepingthyme3.jpg?v=1629903670\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Hill Farms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57067763007828,"sku":"695510053303","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/3825\/0324\/files\/creepingthyme1.jpg?v=1788859341","url":"https:\/\/starkepay.com\/products\/1000-purple-creeping-thyme-flower-seeds","provider":"Starke Pay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
