DAINTY AND LEMON-SCENTED, and effortless to grow, this variety is prized for its variegated green and yellow leaves and their delightful lemon fragrance.
Category: Herbs
(Perennial)
Another dwarf, mat forming shrub that looks great when allowed to cascade or used between stepping stones in the garden. Dark green, lemon scented leaves with flashes of yellow make this variegated variety particularly attractive especially when the pretty lavender- pink flowers open in the summer months. Although mainly a decorative thyme, it can also be used to flavour stews, sauces, chicken, fish and pork.
Planting
Plant in beds or containers, in well-drained soil or compost, in full sun.
Care
Keep well watered until established, and then only when the soil feels dry.
Height & Spread:
10 – 20cm × 20 – 30cm.
Harvesting
Harvest leaves using scissors or fingertips, ideally in the morning when the aromatic oils are most potent. Frequent harvesting encourages bushy growth, but avoid taking more than a third of the plant at a time to ensure continuous growth.
