Description

The lemon thyme is a small evergreen bush, with decorative foliage all year round.

It is fragrant, with lemon-scented aromas. It is used as a herb.

It blooms in summer, with small lilac-coloured flowers. The light, almost yellow colour of its foliage sets it apart from other herbsand adds texture to a bed of herb plants or a rock garden.

A plant that thrives in full sun, thyme can be planted in a rock garden, a dry border, or in a pot, which allows it to be kept close at hand near the kitchen...
