Step 3: Sow the Seeds
Sow the seeds according to the instructions supplied with your variety. Creeping thyme seeds are often surface-sown or covered very lightly because small seeds may need light to germinate. Avoid burying seeds too deeply.

Step 4: Maintain Moisture and Light
Keep the growing medium evenly moist during germination without making it waterlogged. Use gentle watering to avoid displacing small seeds. Provide suitable light and protect young seedlings from harsh environmental conditions.
