⏳ What to Expect

Creeping Thyme is a slow and steady grower — germination takes 21–30 days at 60°F or above, and full maturity comes over 18–24 months. It follows the classic native planting rhythm: sleep in year one, creep in year two, leap in year three. Be patient — the payoff is a dense, flowering carpet that fills in more beautifully each season.

🪴 How to Seed Your Lawn

  1. Prepare: Mow your existing lawn very short (0.5–1") and lightly rake the surface to expose soil.
  2. Spread: Shake the jar and sweep your arm side to side to cover roughly a six-foot path as you walk.
  3. Water: Lightly water the seeded area — keep it moist but avoid runoff.

🌾 Ongoing Care

  • Mow at 2.5–3" for the first 1–2 years. Once established, adjust to your preference — higher and less often for more blooms, shorter for a tidier look.
  • Do not use pesticide, weed, or insect killers. Hand weed if needed.
  • For new lawns or bare patches, consider blending with a fine fescue seed mix (2–4 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft.).
  • Pairs beautifully with: Fine Fescue, Clovers, Self-Heal, Sweet Alyssum, English Mixed Daisy, and White Yarrow.
