Add a splash of golden colour and a zesty fragrance to your garden with Thyme ‘Doone Valley’ (Thymus citriodorus). This stunning lemon-scented variety is highly prized for its vibrant green foliage that is beautifully splashed with bright gold, especially during the spring and winter months. Unlike upright thymes, 'Doone Valley' has a low-growing, prostrate habit, making it an exceptional choice for groundcover, rockeries, or softening the edges of patio pots. In summer, it is covered in tiny spikes of lavender-pink flowers that are an absolute magnet for bees.

Key Features:

• Vibrant Variegated Foliage: Features beautiful gold and green leaves that provide year-round visual interest and colour.

• Refreshing Lemon Scent: Releases a powerful, zesty citrus aroma whenever the foliage is brushed or crushed.

• Versatile Culinary Herb: Perfect for adding a fresh lemon twist to chicken, fish, summer salads, and herb oils.

• Excellent Groundcover: Its mat-forming habit makes it ideal for filling gaps between paving stones or spilling over garden walls.

• Drought Tolerant & Hardy: A tough Mediterranean perennial that thrives in hot, sunny spots and requires very little maintenance.

Care & Usage Instructions:
Thyme ‘Doone Valley’ thrives in full sun and requires sharply drained soil; it is vital that the roots do not sit in waterlogged ground during the winter. It is particularly well-suited to Mediterranean-style gardens, gravel borders, or as a "steppable" herb between pathway flags. To maintain its neat, mat-like shape and encourage fresh growth, lightly prune the plant after the flowers have faded in late summer. When harvesting for the kitchen, snip the tips regularly. If growing in pots, ensure you use a gritty compost mix to prevent root rot.
