Default Establishing roots

When planting new plants, bushes, and the like how long would you expect it
to take for the roots to establish themselves?

When I purchased my Thyme it was recommended that I keep the soil moist
until the roots had a chance to establish themselves, afterwhich they should
be reasonably drought tolerant. So I'm wondering generally speaking how
long is that anyway?
