Thymus citriodorus 'Lemon' is not only a great addition to your kitchen garden, it also provides exceptionally robust, interesting foliage and flowers in your main garden too. Ideal for the edge of a border, a gravel garden or a container - anywhere, in fact, which will benefit from its small, fragrant, evergreen leaves and intense thyme and citrus fragrance.Thymus citriodorus 'Lemon' produces an abundance of lilac-pink flowers from June to August each year, drawing in the pollinators for a nectar feast. As well as this beautiful display, both foliage and flowers will release their delightful herby-citrus fragrance if they are brushed past or gently crushed - the enticing reason why it is loved by chefs as an ingredient for sauces, stews, fish and poultry dishes.Thymus citriodorus 'Lemon' is hardy and drought tolerant plant which prefers a site in well-drained soil which benefits from full sun. As an evergreen, it offers excellent ground-covering and weed suppressing qualities alongside its resilient nature. Plants will reach a height and spread of 20-50cm.
