Description

Adding an extremely fine and delicate texture and outstanding color to the landscape or garden, and excellent flavor for teas and many dishes, the Golden Lemon Thyme is a showy, spreading perennial displaying abundant spikes of lavender flowers that rise just above the colorful variegated foliage during summer. The fragrant leaves emerge chartreuse in spring maturing to green with a distinctive gold edge. Though excellent for ornamental use and color in the garden, this Thyme also has many culinary uses as a seasoning in cooking or to flavor tea. The leaves can be harvested any time of year.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a ground-hugging carpet to 6 inches tall and spreading to 18 inches or more over time, Golden Lemon Thyme is ideal for use in the landscape or edible garden as a border along paths and walkways or massed as a groundcover or underplanting for shrubs, roses and small trees, such as Japanese maples. Also excellent as a soil cover and spiller plant in pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to herb gardens, edible landscape gardens, rock gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).

Suggested Spacing: 15 inches for mass planting or solid borders

Growing Preferences

When planted right and in the right spot, Golden Lemon Thyme is easy to grow. It grows best in light, lightly moist to dry well-drained soil and full sun. We suggest at least 6 hours or more of dir3ect sunlight per day. Will tolerate rainy periods but constantly soggy or wet soil is a killer. So make sure to plant in a well-drained site! Harvest leaves as needed in the morning after dew has dried or before flowering in midsummer.
