Overview

An evergreen, herb thyme with lemon-scented, aromatic leaves and pink flowers. A vigorous, creeping thyme perfect for cascading from herb pots, hanging baskets and over rockeries or walls. With an intense, fizzy lemonade scent, the list of fantastic culinary and beverage possibilities are numerous (and delicious!). 'Lemonade' produces pink flowers in the summer over its light-green foliage.

Care guide

After flowering trim back using garden shears to retain a neat compact shape. If this is done promptly after flowering the plant will often flower again towards the autumn. Lift and divide large clumps in early spring.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
