Thyme 'French'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that French is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures. Ideally plant in sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 7.0 as French likes to be in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

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

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