Lemon Thyme

Lemon thyme is a perennial herb from Europe with a mounding growth habit reaching 6-12 inches tall. It produces small tubular pink flowers in mid-summer and aromatic foliage with a distinct lemon scent.

Lemon thyme is hardy in zones 5a-8b and requires full sun with well-drained soil. Growth is medium-paced with low maintenance. It tolerates deer, diseases, drought, foot traffic, and poor soil, making it highly adaptable. The plant attracts bees and butterflies.
