Its compact size is great for culinary use. Lemon Thyme is a vibrant culinary herb cultivated primarily for the refreshing, citrus-infused aroma found in its tiny, rounded leaves. This distinct flavour, which perfectly blends the earthy, savoury notes of traditional thyme with a bright zest of lemon, is released instantly when the foliage is rubbed or chopped. It is traditionally used to lift roast chicken and fish dishes, and is an essential ingredient in marinades and salad dressings, where it provides a lighter, fruitier aromatic punch than common thyme. This plant is typically grown as a low, bushy evergreen sub-shrub that forms a neat cushion, often featuring attractive golden or silver variegated leaves. It is generally hardy, though it struggles with wet roots during winter rather than the cold itself. For the best results and the highest concentration of citrus oils, plant it in a location with full sun. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and thrives in poor, rocky, or sandy soil, as it will rapidly succumb to root rot if grown in heavy, fertile, or waterlogged ground. The aromatic foliage of thyme will fill the air with scent on a warm sunny day, while its flowers are a magnet to wildlife. Its edible leaves are used fresh or dried to flavour soups, stews, fish, meat, sausages, stuffings and vegetable dishes. They are an important ingredient in bouquet garni and herbes de Provence. Plant out in a warm, sunny spot in the garden. They demand well-drained soil and will rot over winter if the ground is too wet. If your soil is too heavy or you have a small garden, grow thyme in pots they will thrive in 15cm (6in) pots filled with a gritty potting medium, ideally soil.
