Plant Features

Lemon Thyme offers a less intense, citrus aroma and flavor that compliments salads, vegetable dishes, fish, shellfish, as well as chicken. It can be used in any recipes that call for lemon. Thyme grows best in full sun locations with well-drained soils. Plants should be sheared back after flowering to keep the foliage from getting woody. It can be grown indoors within a few feet of a east, south, or west facing window. If grown indoors, potting mix should slightly dry before watering.

Our Lemon Thyme Herb Plants are grown with a commitment to natural methods, ensuring they're healthy and robust. Guaranteed to arrive alive and thriving!

Planting Instructions:

  • - Can be planted anytime the soil temps are above 60F

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-8.0, prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soil
  • - Amend soil with gravel or coarse sand to enhance drainage, which is critical for healthy thyme plants

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water thoroughly but allow soil to dry between waterings; thyme is drought-tolerant once established
  • - Avoid excessive watering to prevent root rot

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Generally does not need much fertilizer; a light feeding in early spring can be beneficial
  • - Over-fertilizing can lead to lush foliage with diminished flavor

Pruning and Training:

  • - Prune in early spring to maintain shape and promote denser growth
  • - Regular harvesting of the tips will also encourage a fuller plant

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Thyme is generally resistant to pests and diseases but watch for fungal issues in humid conditions
  • - Good air circulation and proper soil drainage are crucial for preventing fungal diseases

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Thyme is quite hardy and can tolerate a range of temperatures, but it may need protection from extreme cold
  • - In very cold climates, protect the plants with mulch or bring containers indoors

Mint Mint Mint

Enjoying all of the mint in the new herb raised tier beds I built. Should help with summer Sarsaparilla drinks to celebrate any day of the week that ends in Y.

Lemon Thyme

This was my first time growing Lemon Thyme and it is now my favorite herb. The scent is fabulous and it makes an amazing Pesto! The plant grew quickly and provided more than enough to get me through Winter. Going to make jelly with it this next season. Cannot go wrong.

Smells delicious

The Thyme-Lemon Variegated Herb is such a wonderful plant to have on the patio for scent, for use in cooking, or for tea.

Thyme Lemon

Plants arrived in great packaging, alive and well

From Ruth | March 25, 2016

Lemon Thyme

Plant arrived quickly and nicely packed, but the post office put it on the porch upside down even though the box was clearly labeled "this side up" - not GrowJoy's fault... The plant is doing well though.

From Olga | May 26, 2015

Happy Planter

My order of Lemon Herb plants was received alive (very good sized) and very well packed. They have been planted in containers on my balcony and are flourishing. I have been ordering from GrowJoy for at least four years and have always been pleased with the results.

From Virginia V | May 14, 2015

Fabulous lemon scent - great plant

This is a beautiful Thyme plant, and was growing well from the time I got it. The scent is wonderful - really powerful lemon!

From Karen | May 16, 2014

Thyme Lemon

Very nice Thyme Lemon Variegated Herb plants!

From EVELYN | April 15, 2013

So cute and smells nice too

This has small Variegated leaves that are cute and it looks like it will spread well in the bed I planted it in. I bought it cuz the bunnies won't eat it and I love Variegated leaves and Thyme both.

From Ann | September 08, 2012

GREAT AND VERSATILE HERB

I love the Lemon Thyme Herb and use it on all kinds of dishes - broths, eggs (all kinds), salads and on and on. Your Herb plants were hardy and lovely. I will purchase more of them from you.

From Sallyann | July 27, 2012

HARDY THYME PLANTS

The four plants I received were indeed hardy and healthy. They are on my apartment windowsill enjoying the sun. I am enjoying this herb so much as it adds to every omelet, soup, sandwich and wrap I eat. Thank you also for the expedient service and the plants were packed the best of any place I order herb plants. My hats off to you!

From anonymous | July 20, 2012

The Thyme Lemon Variegated Herb plant is so much better than regular sage. It has a lovely lemon scent and taste.
