We have found that it is best to pot up smaller divisions and grow them on in light shade in a greenhouse or cold frame until they are growing away well. Larger divisions can be planted out direct into their permanent positions. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. The foliage has a strong aroma of caraway. The leaves are 4 to 10 mm (0.2 to 0.4 in) long, lanceolate, dark glossy green and hairy. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Caraway thyme is a creeping, woody-based perennial, growing to 10 to 25 cm (4 to 10 in) high and spreading out across the ground to a width of 30 cm (12 in). Seed can also be sown in autumn in a greenhouse. Our new book to be released soon is Edible Shrubs. Book titles include Edible Plants, Edible Perennials, Edible Trees, and Woodland Gardening.
