* "Since cross pollination is a concern with thyme, it is very uncommon to find seeds for low-growing varieties like Elfin Thyme or Wooly Thyme which will be propagated by cuttings"
* "we do offer four varieties of thyme by seed that will show uniform traits: Mother of Thyme, Creeping Thyme, Magic Carpet Thyme, and Mixed Creeping Thyme."

* "Some of the best types of thyme for a thyme lawn are Thymus serpyllum 'Elfin' (Elfin thyme), Thymus coccineus (Red Creeping thyme) and Thymus pseudolanuginosus (Wooly thyme)."


* "I had no luck germinating thyme seeds last year. Cuttings are the normal way to propagate it. Seed might work if you have better controlled conditions than I did."
