Lemon Thyme

This selection is both a culinary herb and an ornamental groundcover, its small, lemon-scented leaves are frequently used in cooking while the spreading, mat-forming habit and lavender flowers make it equally at home in a rock garden or sunny border edge.

• Lemon-scented small green leaves, approximately 1 cm long, are used fresh or dried as a seasoning
• Whorls of tiny lavender flowers appear on the stem ends in early summer, attracting pollinators
• Mounding groundcover habit is suited to sunny borders, rock gardens, or paving cracks
