How to grow Thyme 'Variegated'

  • Full Sun

  • Low

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Variegated is thought of as hardy, so this plant will grow or become dormant during the winter. Ideally plant in sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 7.0 as Variegated likes to be in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Growing Variegated from seed

Look to ensure a distance 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between Variegated 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 Variegated about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Variegated

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