Thyme, Common or Lemon 'Orange Scented'

  • Product number: 363050
  • Origin: Europe
  • Latin: Thymus pulegioides

A good combination of ornamental and useful! Large thyme is more compact and has larger flowers than creeping thyme and wild thyme. Because the species is native to the Netherlands, it is more winter-hardy than common thyme. Its culinary value is very good; some detect a hint of lemon aroma.

Names:
Latin: Thymus pulegioides
Dutch: Grote tijm
Also known as: Citroentijm
