Thyme ‘Lemon Silver’ (scientific name Thymus x citriodorus ‘Lemon Silver’) is a charming, aromatic herb prized for its attractive variegated foliage and bright citrus scent. The small leaves are edged in creamy white with soft green centers, creating a beautiful contrast in herb gardens, borders, and containers. This low-growing perennial typically reaches 6–10 inches tall and spreads 12–18 inches wide, forming a dense, mat-like habit. It thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, and grows best in USDA zones 5–9. Beyond its ornamental appeal, Lemon Silver thyme is valued for its culinary and practical uses. The fragrant leaves carry a gentle lemon flavor, making them perfect for seasoning poultry, fish, vegetables, and marinades. It can also be used fresh or dried in teas and herb blends. In the garden, it works wonderfully as a fragrant edging plant, rock garden accent, or groundcover. Its delicate summer flowers also attract pollinators such as bees, adding life and movement to herb gardens.
