Potted Thyme Plant

Why?
We're thrilled to bring you these enitely plastic free and peat free potted herbs from Organic Blooms. Thyme’s leafy clusters impart a subtly floral and fragrant flavour to stews and hotpots, and compliment the natural earthiness of roasted root veggies beautifully. Organic thyme can also be infused into homemade oils and spirits when you’re planning ahead for gifts with that personal touch.
You should be able to use a little of your organic thyme right away, but it's best to grow the plant on for a couple of weeks before giving it a bigger chop. Your plant will be right at home on a sunny kitchen windowsill, but if it grows faster than you can use it (thyme is robust and hardy), it’s also simple to repot or plant out in the garden. Then you can simply compost the fibrous pot it arrives in.

Storage & prep
Storage & prep
Open straight away and water well. Thyme likes a sunny windowsill or sunny bed outside, it is a perennial herb and will die back in the winter but re-emerge in the spring. Your plant will arrive in a biodegradable wood-pulp pot, you can keep it inside this pot for a little while but it will start to break down once you've watered it a few times. You can either pot it on inside the pot, give it a good soak first and it will slowly break down allowing the roots to grow outwards. Or you can tip it out of the pot to pot it on and compost or reuse the wood-pulp pot.
