Lemon Thyme (Thymus Citriodorus) – 6 Pack Of Pint Pots

---

Lemon thyme is great in the garden and the kitchen, and easy to grow. Although it looks like English thyme it tastes and smells like lemon. Use lemon thyme in any recipe that calls for lemon, including marinades, teas and other hot or cold drinks. Lemon thyme grows vigorously, so you can trim it back regularly at any time of year for culinary uses, and to keep it neat and compact. Evergreen in zones 8 and 9, the plant can be sheared into a tiny hedge if you are looking to create a knot garden. It can also be grown in containers situated outdoors or indoors on a windowsill. A really pretty thyme that is even more attractive during midsummer when abundant clusters of soft lilac flowers sit atop the foliage.

Growing to 6 to 12 inches tall and spreading to 18 inches or more over time, Lemon Thyme is ideal for use in the landscape or edible garden as a border along paths and walkways or massed as a groundcover or underplanting for shrubs, roses and small trees, such as Japanese maples. Also excellent as a soil cover and spiller plant in pots, planters and other containers. Can be trimmed regularly to form a low, tight hedge. A fine addition to herb gardens, edible landscape gardens, rock gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).

Suggested Spacing:  15 inches for mass planting or solid borders
