Growing Information
Growing German Winter Thyme
‘German Winter’ is a hardy perennial thyme prized for its strong, savory flavor and intensely aromatic foliage. Compact plants produce flavorful leaves with a classic thyme profile that holds up especially well in hearty, slow-cooked dishes.
Start ‘German Winter’ indoors for transplanting, planting seeds about ¼ inch deep. Space plants 6 to 8 inches apart in rows 12 to 18 inches apart, and grow in full sun to partial shade. Plants reach about 8 to 12 inches tall and prefer a well-drained location.
Ready to harvest in about 93 days, begin cutting fresh stems and leaves once plants are well established. Harvest as needed throughout the season, and dry extra foliage for longer storage.
Savory, aromatic, and versatile, ‘German Winter’ is excellent for sauces, stews, poultry, stuffing, pickles, roasted dishes, and seasoning blends.
