Thyme citriodorus ‘Doone Valley’ is a low-growing, evergreen herb valued for its strong lemon fragrance and attractive variegated foliage. The small green leaves are edged in gold, often developing soft pink tones during cooler conditions.
Ideal for edging paths, rockeries, gravel gardens, and containers, this creeping thyme forms a neat, dense mat. In summer, it produces small pink flowers which attract bees and pollinators, making it both ornamental and practical.
Supplied as strong, healthy plug plants ready to grow on or plant out.
