About this Plant

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.
