FRAGRANT, FLAVOURFUL, and a joy to grow, Lemon Thyme adds a citrus twist to traditional thyme’s taste.
Category: Herbs
(Perennial)
With its strong lemon scented leaves and pale pink flowers in summer, this variety is a must in any herb garden. A compact bushy shrub, growing up to 30cm, can be used to provide a lemon flavour to roast chicken, fish or Italian dishes.
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:
15 – 30cm × 30 – 45cm.
Harvesting
Harvest the aromatic leaves using scissors or your fingertips, best done in the morning when the fragrant oils are most pronounced. Regular harvesting encourages a bushy growth form, but be sure not to harvest more than a third of the plant at once.
