Thyme Golden Lemon
Thymus × citriodorus 'Aureus'
Golden Lemon Thyme is a perennial herb with variegated green and golden foliage that has a strong lemon scent.
Harvest thyme as needed throughout the growing season, but do not remove more than 1/3 of the foliage at a time. This ensures the plant has enough energy to keep growing.
Thyme grows best in full sun with average, well-drained soils. Allow the top few inches of soil to dry out before watering again, as thyme dislikes heavy, waterlogged soil and will not survive the winter if the ground is too wet. Prune plants back after they flower to keep their growth compact.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available April through June, depending on suppliers availability.

If it is planted in a pot, it should have a drainage hole to reduce the likelihood of root rot caused by water accumulating in the bottom of the pot.
Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
