Golden Lemon Thyme (Thymus x citriodorus Aureus) is a luminous and aromatic perennial that brings both visual brightness and culinary zest to the garden. It features small, rounded leaves with a striking golden variegation that intensifies in the sun. When brushed or crushed, the foliage releases a potent, refreshing lemon scent that is significantly more citrusy than standard Thyme.

This organic specialty herb is a professional-grade choice for kitchen gardens, rockeries, or as a colorful "filler" in mixed containers. In summer, it produces tiny lavender flowers that attract bees and butterflies. You will receive a healthy 4" plant, grown with organic practices and ready to be used in teas, poultry dishes, or seafood.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Luminous Golden Variegation: Adds a year-round pop of yellow-green color to the garden.
  • Intense Citrus Aroma: A favorite for culinary use where a bright, lemony flavor is desired.
  • Versatile & Resilient: Drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and thrives in poor, well-drained soils.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
