This popular culinary thyme forms a dense, creeping mat of tiny, oval, dark green leaves that release a strong, fresh lemon scent when brushed or crushed, making it a must-have for herb gardens and sensory plantings. In early to mid-summer, it produces clusters of small, two-lipped, tubular, pale lavender-pink flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The leaves are edible and widely used in fish dishes, roasted chicken, salads, herb butters, marinades, and herbal teas, as well as in baking (such as lemon thyme cake). With excellent tolerance for light foot traffic, drought, poor soils, and deer, it is an outstanding choice for between stepping stones, rock gardens, slopes, as a ground cover, and in containers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victory Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":44087223418968,"sku":null,"price":18.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8000\/6232\/files\/Image_jpeg_99d115da-f675-43b8-84db-d03b393f3231.png?v=1778380432","url":"https:\/\/victorynursery.us\/products\/thymus-citriodorus-lemon","provider":"Victory Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
