These Thyme Seeds sprouted as stated for the germination period. The weather here in Minnesota is extremely hot with lots of sun. Now I am excited to thin and repot as thyme was hard to find locally this summer, but with this planting I should be able to get numerous indoor plants for the fall.

The package has the germ rate at 59%. I emailed them asking them why are they selling seeds with such low germination and why wasn’t the low germination stated in the seed listing, they replied saying that that germination rate is normal. I will just buy from everwilde farms because their thyme seeds always have 80% and above germination rates
