Growing notes

Plant in full sun to partial shade for the best yields, whether in the ground or containers. Leaves are evergreen to semi-evergreen depending on latitude. In zones 9–10, hot summers can temper performance, so consider container growing or treating it as a cool-season performer in those climates.

What’s in the 4-pack

Four live German Thyme plants offer multiple harvest points and flexible placement—perfect for pairing with borders, beds, or patio pots.

Care tips

• Plant during spring or fall for strong establishment
• Use well-draining soil and moderate, regular watering
• Prune after flowering to encourage bushier growth and sustained fragrance

Tip: This herb is perennial in zones 5–9 and can display evergreen characteristics in milder winters. In very warm zones, plan for seasonal rotation or container mobility to protect from peak heat.
