It is frost resistant, in leaf all year, blooms in July and August, and the seeds ripen in August and September. Bees, flies, and Lepidoptera pollinate the species, which is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs). It is well-known for its ability to attract wildlife. The flowering parts of the plant are used to make medicine. People take wild thyme for breathing problems including cough, bronchitis, and swollen airways. They also take it for kidney and bladder disorders, to improve blood circulation, to lower bad cholesterol, and to treat intestinal gas and colic. They also use it to improve sleep, to stimulate the immune system, and to treat infections. Growing Instructions: To establish Thyme from seeds, sow the herb seeds indoors on sterile starting mix 6 - 8 weeks before last frost. Keep the Thyme seeds moist until germination. Once frost season has passed transplant the Thyme seedlings into the garden in a sunny location. Do not over water Thyme. It likes to dry out in-between waterings. Thyme herb plants dislike wet foliage, so surrounding the plant with a layer of gravel can help this. This variety of Thyme is often planted near vegetables to help control flea beetles and several cabbage pests.
