Wild Thyme (Thymus praecox), also called Mother of Thyme, is a low growing perennial with small aromatic leaves used as a culinary herb.

Plants form a dense spreading mat with pink to lavender flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Wild Thyme tolerates drought once established and can be used between stepping stones or in rock gardens.

How to stratify seed

In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.

Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
