Thyme 'Erectus'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Erectus is thought of as hardy, so Erectus will tend to go dormant or grow slowly over the winter months. Erectus needs a sandy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Look to ensure a distance 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between Erectus seeds when sowing to make sure your seedlings have enough space. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Erectus about 42 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Erectus is a hardy plant.
