20000+ Magic Blue Creeping Thyme Seeds for Planting Ground Cover Plants Heirloom Flowers Perennial Thyme Non-GMO Thymus Serpyllum Seed

THIS IS NOT ANY VARIETY OF THYME. First pic is what grew from these seeds. 2nd pic is actual real newly started thyme. I've been growing herbs for yrs and have several established thyme patches. I wanted to use it as a border around my rock gardens and wated to buy bulk seeds. I Started these in egg cartons and sprouted over 50 in egg cartons. Transplanted once they sprouted. But what grew wasn't thyme. Idk what it is. It is not any variety of thyme though. It's growing tall and the leaves are round. Thyme plants have tiny elongated leaves and don't grow upright they kind of fall over on the ground. They also smell wonderful which is why I wanted thyme. This plant has zero herbal smell. So I essentially wasted weeks of my time and effort to plant some random mystery plant around my rock gardens. Now I have to start over with actual thyme seeds. Buying several packets of actual thyme seeds at a grocery store would have cost me the same amt and I would actually have thyme plants.

In total we started with 120 3in pots and all had seeds. ALL 120 pots had germination and we had no plants die during the process or after we put them in the ground. You need to baby these seeds to make sure they germinate and even after they are initially planted. This isnt because the seeds are bad. All the reading I have done states that creeping thyme seeds can be difficult to germinate and are high maintenance. You have to baby the crap outta these things if you want germination and continued growth until established. On March 28, 2026 we put the seeds in 3in terracotta pots inside our little green house in our basement. We made sure to keep the humidity vents closed because they love the warm humid environment as they are germinating. The lights were on for 8-10hrs a day. After 2 weeks we switched from watering them with our mist sprayer everyday to pouring a little water into the pots everyday. After 4 weeks we switched to watering them only every other day. On May 21, 2026 we moved all the pots outside so they could acclimate to the outdoors to reduce transplant shock. May 24, 2026 is when we transplanted from the 3in pots into the ground. We were super scared they were going to die because the temperature spiked and the plants started to look very pale, and limp. But after about 2 weeks of watering everyday they started to make a come back and thrive. On June 6, 2026 is when we knew they were fine and didn't have to worry about them. The color had returned to a healthy green and two plants even had a blue/purple flower. On June 14, 2026 they have almost doubled in size since June 6. They are absolutely thriving. The plants are starting to creep across the ground and spread out. More plants are even getting the blue/purple blooms. We are so happy with how they are turning out. And are going to be planting another 30 in the 3in pots today to finish filling out up to those stones and plug a few areas we want more cover in. I will update as time goes on with photos. We are going to be starting another batch around June 24, 2026 but those ones will be white. They will go on the other side of the stones.

Followed all directions & they didn’t grow at all! The quality is terrible, there was a hassle with shipping, I’m very dissatisfied with these. Not even one single flower bloomed or even grew. Not even a stem. Waste of time & money & the area I planted them in now looks terrible because it’s covered in weeds, when there were no flowers there to begin with! I bought all new fertilizer, placed coconut soil mixed in with it, and grew a bunch of weeds! Now I weeded it all out & it’s an ugly, empty space in my front yard that I now have to buy new already grown flowers for because I wasted so much time & money on buying a bunch of ugly weeds thinking I would have the beautiful blue flowers in this picture. I am very upset about this!

I have lots of flowers. Even have open garden walks for several years but tried twice and no luck getting them to grow. Looking for plants now

Have tried these twice and they refuse to germinate even a single bit. I have zero plants from these seeds. Followed the planting directions and my 5 decades of gardening and have nothing to show for it aside from a large pot of garden soil, that I coulde been using for something else.

I'm not a gardener and have a hard time growing anything from seed. I had a yard full of cheat grass and weeds, that I'm trying to bring back to life with clover and drought-resistant plants. I thought there was no way I'd be successful since the growing process looked so finicky, but figured I'd give it a try with about half the seeds. I waited until after the last expected frost (April 8), used a bunch of little tiny pots, some potting soil, peat moss, and trays to keep everything wet. I put it all in a little red wagon in the front yard where it could get lots of sun and covered it with some thick plastic sheeting. The temperature did get into frost level a couple nights, but the plastic sheet was enough to protect my germinating seeds. For the actual planting, I filled the little pots with potting soil, putting a little peat moss on top. I put the seeds on a 4" plastic lid, dampened my finger tip a little, then picked some up and sprinkled them into the pots. Once I got all the seeds in the pots, I brushed the tops with my finger tip to work them in just a little bit. April 20, I saw my first sprouts, and as the temperatures increased, I started to remove the plastic cover during the day. Got my first flower June 26, and within a few days started to see a lot more flowers. I thought I drowned them one day after running the sprinkler (I thought the old wagon had some rust holes for drainage, it didn't, and they were covered in water overnight), but they did well afterward. I immediately put one small pot worth of plants in the ground without separating them, just in case (that would be the big bunch in the photo). The others stayed in pots until I was in a better position for transplanting (some are still waiting, there were a lot!) I've transplanted a couple of the small pots into over 20 different locations, all but that first one with just two or three plants each. So far all are thriving and flowering, except two that didn't make it. I'll get the rest transplanted soon, and will try to grow the rest of the seeds when it starts to cool down in the fall (or wait until spring again). The camera makes them look really purple, but some are more blue than others. Looking forward to them really taking off after a year or two. Even though the germination period seemed like it would be super finicky, they thrived even with my less-than-ideal conditions. I'm glad I took the chance on them!

Small package

Planted these seeds as directed never had one plant sprout!!! Planted in different locations, tried to start indoors to transplant, and tried different soils. Total waste of time and money! Also guaranteed there were not 20,000 seeds in the little packet that came in the mail.
