Upright growth of 6-8 inches, foliage 
green and deliciously and refreshingly 
scented with lemon.

the same attractive lemon flavor of the 
leaves, it is prostrate in growth and 
the green leaves are beautifully edged 
with gold.

away scented and Anise scented Thyme 
this fascinating, little, creeping variety 
seems to give off the scent of different

some additional, elusive, pleasing odor.
