Creeping Thyme Lawn Seed

Recommended USDA zones

Zones 4-9

Sun

Soil and drainage

Plant in well-drained soil. Prepare a clean, weed-free seedbed with good seed-to-soil contact.

Establishment moisture

Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and early establishment.

Drought tolerance

Once established, creeping thyme is drought tolerant, but new seedlings require dependable moisture.

Avoid

Standing water or waterlogged soil, heavy shade, and compacted soil.

Establishment

Creeping thyme establishes gradually and is not an instant lawn replacement.

Foot traffic

It may not perform well under continuous heavy foot traffic.
