Description

Creeping Thyme 900 g

Thymus serpyllum

Perennial - Sow from mid-June to mid-September

Height 6-8 inches.

Herbionik® Eco-Rustik Creeping Thyme 

Use this perennial as a ground cover to replace your lawn.

IN DETAIL: Thyme is slow to germinate. It takes a minimum of 3 weeks to start germinating, under optimal conditions:

  • the soil temperature must have reached 18-20°C
  • the soil must be kept moist at all times until germination: a minimum of 3 weeks
  • the seeds are placed on the soil without covering them with earth
  • mix the bag well before sowing to ensure that the thyme seeds are homogeneous with the buckwheat hulls.

Thyme seeds are tiny: make sure the seeds are in contact with the soil. Once sown, gently press the sown area with your hands to ensure contact between the seeds and the soil.

It can even take 4-5 weeks for germination to begin. Therefore, it can take 1-2 season(s) before you have a surface completely covered with flowering thyme.

Watering the soil to keep it moist is also a factor to consider. The seed needs moisture to germinate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about this product

Quelles fleurs attirent le plus les abeilles au Québec ?

La phacélie, la bourrache, le trèfle, la monarde, l'agastache, l'asclépiade, le tournesol et le souci comptent parmi les plus visitées. Privilégiez les fleurs simples, à un seul rang de pétales : les fleurs doubles sont souvent stériles et n'offrent ni nectar ni pollen.

Comment nourrir les pollinisateurs toute la saison ?

En échelonnant les floraisons. Printemps : pissenlit, bourrache, phacélie semée tôt. Été : monarde, agastache, tournesol, souci, bleuet. Fin de saison : asclépiade, verge d'or, sarrasin, trèfle. Semez par îlots d'au moins un mètre carré plutôt qu'en plants isolés : les butineuses repèrent les masses de couleur.

Faut-il installer une ruche pour aider les abeilles ?

Non, et c'est parfois contre-productif. L'abeille domestique est un animal d'élevage qui entre en concurrence avec les centaines d'espèces d'abeilles sauvages indigènes, plus menacées. Semer des fleurs mellifères, laisser des zones de sol nu et renoncer aux pesticides aide davantage.
