Description

Thymus × citriodorus 'Silver Queen' Lemon Thyme is a compact, evergreen subshrub cherished for its ornamental appeal and culinary versatility. This cultivar features small, ovate, dark green leaves edged in creamy-white, emitting a sweet lemon fragrance. In early to mid-summer, it produces clusters of tiny, pale mauve-pink tubular flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Native to Southern Europe, 'Silver Queen' thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it ideal for herb gardens, borders, rock gardens, and containers. Its drought tolerance and resistance to deer and rabbits further enhance its suitability for various landscapes

Variegated Foliage: Dark green leaves with creamy-white edges provide year-round visual interest.
Fragrant and Edible: Leaves emit a sweet lemon scent and are used to flavor meats, vegetables, and teas.
Pollinator-Friendly: Summer blooms attract bees and butterflies, supporting local ecosystems.
