Outsidepride Magic Carpet Creeping Thyme Seeds - 500 Pcs. Perennial, Fragrant, & Drought Tolerant Ground Cover Seeds for Planting Pink Flowers in Pathways, Slopes & Pollinator-Friendly Landscaping

I do not have a green thumb, but that doesn't stop me from trying.The seed packet says these germinate in 2-3 weeks, but here it is the morning of day 7 and I have tiny seedlings! Of the four different seeds I ordered from Outside Pride this time (Irish Moss, Creeping Thyme, Eidelweiss, Sedum), only the Irish Moss has yet to germinate. I'm not using grow lights. I am putting them out in the morning sun around 8am. If it's a hot, sunny day, I move them into the shade before noon. If it's overcast, I leave them. I bring them in around 5-6 pm when it starts getting cool. So far so good!I didn't count either the seeds in the packet or how many I planted, so I can't comment on the germination rate. I'm just trying a six-pack at a time due to my lack of green thumb.My order arrived promptly (2-3 days). I love Outside Pride and usually order directly from their website. You can sometimes find coupon codes on their Facebook page. This time I ordered soil and other seeds from other vendors, so it was convenient to add these to my cart. Highly recommended.Photos are from this morning, day 7.

I bought multiple seed packets of varying kinds from this company and not one of them yielded anything. I have a small greenhouse in my backyard I've used to populate my yard with other plants, so I know a thing or two about growing. Shown in the photo is the giant batch of weeds that grew where I planted these creeping thyme seeds around flagstones. What you see are weeds that look just like the weeds others have posted photos of that grew from these packets. Either none of these seeds germinated and weeds grew perfectly in the pattern I scattered the seeds in, or what was in this packet was simply weed seeds.To make matters worse, because it takes time for seeds to be planted and grow, by the time I realized these were just weeds the refund window had passed, and Amazon refused to issue a refund! I blew more than a hundred bucks buying seeds from this company which only yielded weeds, got none of my money back, and now I'm having a landscaper come by in a week to rip out all these weeds. What a great Amazon experience. Please, heed my words and do not buy these, my guess is they have an overseas supplier that's ripping them off. I ignored the bad reviews myself, hoping for the best; I was a fool.

Plant seeds. Plants grow. Nice.

Received seeds in a timely manner. Ordered the 1000 seed package and it seemed like there were far fewer then that many in the tiny bag of seeds I received. Planted them in a starter seed tray 2 weeks ago and keeping them watered according to the package instructions. Time will tell if they grow or not.

Thyme can be difficult to grow I understand so I followed all directions carefully: bought proper soil, started the seedlings in gro pots, inside, temp controlled @ 75°, skylight exposure in my utility room plus gro lights, careful attention to moisture.The seedlings sprouted quickly so I was excited but that soon came to an screeching halt as the seedlings stalks were so thin that most fell over after they were 1 1/2" high. Later, thinking maybe they needed to go outside for the sun and to acclimatize them before planting - they all died within two days.So, $105.00 for the seeds, two gro lights and bulbs, 45 plastic planting trays all for naught. Two weeks ago I emailed this company and asked for help - to see if there was something I was doing wrong and there was no response.Very frustrating as I spent a fair amount of money - but mainly a huge waste of time

I bought these Magic Carpet Thyme seeds along with the standard pinkish colored Thymus Serpyllum and over-sowed them in 12 starter cells each (24 total) using good starting mix soil by MiracleGro. I sprinkled roughly 20 seeds in each cell. After 6 days they are starting to come up but these particular ones are not coming up nearly as much. The standard creeping thyme produced 105 total plants so far (about 8 per cell) and these magic carpet ones only produced 14. Some of the cells have not produced any yet. I guess 1000 seeds should give me what I need even with the low germination rate but I was hoping for the same rate as the standard ones.

Please be aware of the soil conditions needed first! I ordered so many seeds that I didn't check this one. NO, it does not thrive in acidic soils! That means sphagnum and most organic compost. I corrected the situation after sowing. I am using baking soda water and a little azomite dust but no guarantee. I will order more of these and do it right but please don't make my mistake and then write a bad review. These are flowering plants and most prefer acidic but not these. I'm surprised I got any at all to germinate. My track record with this company is about 80%, with the 20% being my own soil mistakes!

I had high hopes for these little seeds! I love creeping thyme and I thought it would be a blast to grow it from scratch. These seeds were planted in their own little cups with fresh, high quality soil, kept indoors, and watered as directed. This isn't my first rodeo with growing seeds indoors over the colder months in hopes to plant fairly established life in my yard come mid-late spring. Out of 1000 seeds, not a single one sprouted in 3 months time. I hate giving one star reviews, so I didn't; I just hope I got a bad batch.
