How do thyme herbs reproduce?

Firstly, yes thyme is excellent in tea but use in moderation as thymol ( the active anti-microbial oil) can be hard on the kidneys in large doses or over long periods of continuous use. Secondly, Thyme generally is self pollinating and reproduces from seed though I have seen stems take root in contact with the ground a couple times. You would benefit from buying small plants from a nursery as germinating thyme seeds can be difficult and can take weeks. They need very specific moisture and temperature levels that don't fluctuate in order to survive.

wild thyme reproduces by itself that is how the mother plant wild thyme did. thyme was first put on top of coffins a long time ago. it has been used as medicate for people that had fungi that needed to be bandaged. it also has a culinary use used in many tomato sauces or even sometimes used an a seasoning for fish

"All species of thyme prefer full sun and well-drained soils and most grow best in coarse, gritty soils such as used in rock gardens. Under wet conditions or when the air is very humid for a few weeks, thymes can develop root rot and fungal diseases. When grown in very rich soils or they are over-fertilized they will become tall, spindly, and weak; making them more prone to rot and fungal attack. Plants used for culinary purposes are best replaced every few years with newly started plants from seed or cuttings because of the development of woody stems that limit production of the desirable fresh new growth. Thyme species are hardy in 5-9, and a few are hardy in zone 4, but all tend to "melt out,” and decline during hot, humid summers. Cutting plants back promotes new growth and tidy ups the mats of stems. The prostrate tend to be easer to over winter in colder areas; they can also be covered with dry mulch over winter. Thyme species are easy to propagate from seed, cuttings, and division. The seeds are moderately small but easy to sow. The seeds should be Surface sown because light is needed for needed for best germination. Use F 65 with germination in 5-20 days."

After planting the seeds, shop properly watered in a sunny place. once you plant them out, make helpful they're in properly drained sandy soil and pref finished sunlight. Bees love the plant existence and it is great to apply sparkling in cooking. stable luck
