In the Garden
Thymes tend to bloom in early May here in south Texas. Doonevalley Thyme will become more variegated during the growing season, with green and gold leaves. As the intense growing seasons of Spring and Fall ebb, the variegation will lessen and the leaves return to a green color. Great in low growing pots or tucked away in rocks, does best in well drained sandy soil. It will not do well in heavy clay or moist soil.
Plant Uses
Ornamental Landscaping or pots and enjoying its lemon scent. Not for culinary use.
