Fresh Garden Herbs - Common Thyme - 2 Pot Seedling Set

Organic, pesticide-free common thyme seedlings (with roots and soil) grown by an individual as a hobby. The seedlings, approximately 5-6cm in diameter, will be lightly washed, have minimal new soil added for moisture, and shipped via Fourth Class Mail (registered at the post office) between Sunday and Thursday.

Since post offices are closed on weekends and holidays, orders placed on Friday will be held at the post office over the weekend, with shipping resuming on Monday or the next business day.

* Fourth Class Mail for plants and seeds does not include tracking or insurance. If you are concerned about the plant's condition one week after ordering, please contact your local post office directly. Alternatively, we recommend purchasing from regions where delivery is possible within 1-3 days and avoiding shipping during long holidays. (Please comment if you wish to use express or registered mail, as there will be an additional charge.)

Immediately after shipping is confirmed at the post office counter, we will provide you with the receipt number and estimated arrival date.

Common thyme is widely used for culinary purposes, such as in thyme tea, meat dishes, and marinades. Dried leaves can also be used for insect repellent and sachets. Historically, it has been used for air purification and to prevent the spread of epidemics, and drinking it as tea is said to be effective against colds, influenza, and bronchitis.

Thyme is an evergreen shrub native to Europe and Asia, belonging to the mint family. When planted in the ground, it can spread and grow into a ground cover or a small shrub. It has strong antiseptic and disinfectant properties, which helped prevent epidemics, leading to it being planted in public places like churches in Europe.

Harvesting can be done anytime while the leaves are present. Fresh leaves can be picked and used as needed. Once the plant grows larger, it is recommended to harvest branches and grow it in a sunny, dry location.
