A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum Herbs Thyme

I transplanted the thyme outside in one of the containers last month. And it is loving it! It has turned an evergreen color and just looks so healthy. I am really really please. The rest of the plants are doing ok but the thyme is really heads above everything else in improvement.

does thyme bloom? And if so when please?

Tammy: here ya go. I hoipe it helps:

Caraway Thyme: blooms in mid-spring--can use like caraway

Coconut Thyme: 4 weeks in summer (July)

Creeping Thyme: Summer

Thyme in general will bloom in summer.


You are nor supposed to harvest heavily the first year.--Prune away old wood and dead flowers. In colder cliamtes, heavily mulch in winter.

Well no blooms yet. Maybe next year.

Perhaps your thyme has not read the :manuel" yet, Tammy.
While I found nothing that said there was a year delay in blooms, ya know but it does happen that way sometimes.---keep me posted, ok??

The thyme is two years old so that shouldn't be the problem but who knows lol.

I had a VERY large lemon thyme,'til the dog peed it to death................
