Lemon thyme is a Mediterranean herb that has been used to treat illnesses for centuries. Once believed to be a hybrid of garden origin, between Thymus pulegioides and Thymus vulgar is, it has since received its classification after DNA analysis revealed it is its own species (Thymus citriodorus). The aesthetic appeal and the many uses of lemon thyme in garden treasure are reason enough to plant this aromatic treasure. Growing to about six to 12 inches tall by 12 to 18 inches wide, the compact, aromatic nature of lemon thyme enables it to serve as a nice border plant along your garden beds or edging a path. It can tolerate some light foot traffic and will release gentle wafts of citrus into the air if stepped upon. Show more
