Be the first to review this product


Product Description

Dense, bright green foliage grows tight to the ground and gives off a lemon scent when crushed. Purple-pink flowers bloom in early summer. A nice filler for rock gardens and between flagstone. Lemon Thyme is a groundcover that's just as effective in the garden as it is in the kitchen. Line borders Shear as needed and use the trimmings to season or marinate fish, chicken and vegetables. Deer resistant and evergreen in mild winter climates.
Hardy to -30°F
Maximum Elevation: 8,000 ft.
