Set of 3 or 6 Thymus citriodorus ‘Doone Valley’ Thyme Herb Plants, Hardy Perennial Culinary Herb, Outdoor Garden Ready, 1 Litre Root-Ball

Bring colour, fragrance and flavour to your garden with this set of three Doone Valley Thyme plants. Thymus citriodorus 'Doone Valley' is a beautifully variegated, lemon-scented thyme prized for its ornamental dark green leaves splashed with golden-yellow markings. A compact, low-growing evergreen herb, it is equally at home in herb gardens, rockeries, gravel paths, containers and border edging.

In summer, clusters of small pale pink to lilac flowers appear, providing a valuable nectar source for bees, butterflies and other pollinators. The aromatic, lemon-scented foliage can be used fresh or dried in cooking, making Doone Valley Thyme a versatile addition to any kitchen garden.

Each plant is supplied in a 1 litre pot with an established root-ball, ready to plant straight into your garden or outdoor containers.

What's Included:

• 3 or 6 × Doone Valley Thyme plants


• Each supplied in a 1 litre pot with established root-ball

Growing Conditions:
