Lemon Thyme 'Doone Valley', Citrus Thyme 'Doone Valley', Thymus 'Doone Valley'
Thymus citriodorus ‘Doone Valley’ (Lemon Thyme) is an aromatic, mat-forming, evergreen sub-shrub with a pleasant lemony fragrance. The foliage of small, edible, rounded leaves is dark green, tipped with bright gold in fall and winter. In early to mid-summer, the plant is smothered in spikes of small, tubular, lavender-pink flowers that are attractive to bees and butterflies. Can be used in between flagstones and will tolerate moderate foot traffic. Equally lovely in mixed borders or in containers where it will gracefully spill over the edges.
