Thymus citriodorus
Lemon Thyme
White-lilac flowers. Bright green, glossy leaves, richly lemon-scented.
Growing & Maintenance Tips
Full sun in a loose, well-drained soil. Thyme will perform very well in poor, dry soil and is less vigorous in partial shade. This thyme is usually grown for its fragrant and culinary uses. The leaves and flowering stems are used in sachets, and the dried flowers have been used to preserve linens from insects. This is also a good plant for the border and rock garden.
Interesting Information
The lemon odor is very pronounced with this variety. Thymus is the ancient Greek name for aromatic herbs.
