Description
Thymus citrodorus, commonly known as Lemon Thyme, is a fragrant and culinary herb prized for its aromatic foliage and low-growing habit. It typically forms a dense mat of small, oval-shaped leaves that are bright green and release a strong lemon scent when brushed or crushed. In summer, tiny pink to lavender flowers appear, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Lemon Thyme is drought-tolerant once established and thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. It is often used in herb gardens, rockeries, or as a ground cover, adding both fragrance and culinary versatility to gardens and landscapes.
