Common name variegated lemon thyme Family lamiaceae Life cycle perennial Flowers lavender-pink (June) Size 2" Light sun Cultural notes ordinary garden soil, drought-tolerant Good sprawling, well-behaved groundcover. We don't use it as an herb - its ornamental qualities are sufficient to keep this around. Last winter, for some reason, we lost most of our thymes (it wasn't too cold - maybe too wet), but a few pieces came back, and have re-established themselves admirably.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston.
