Thymus × citriodorus 'Doone Valley' (Doone Valley Thyme)

Doone Valley Thyme (Thymus × citriodorus 'Doone Valley') is a delightful evergreen herb prized for its aromatic lemon-scented foliage and attractive golden-variegated leaves. The small green leaves are edged with golden-yellow, creating year-round colour that intensifies in cooler weather. During spring and summer, clusters of soft pink flowers cover the plant, attracting bees and other beneficial pollinators. Its fragrant foliage is ideal for seasoning poultry, seafood, vegetables, and Mediterranean-inspired dishes.

Low growing and easy to maintain, Doone Valley Thyme thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it perfect for herb gardens, rock gardens, borders, pathways, and containers. Its spreading habit forms a dense mat of colourful foliage that provides both ornamental value and culinary use. Combining vibrant foliage, delicate flowers, and citrus fragrance, Doone Valley Thyme is an excellent choice for productive and decorative gardens alike.
