Villa Nova Lemon

Lovely gold-dappled pillow-like mats of sweet lemon-scented foliage covered in purple-pink flowers in June and July. Plant in sandy, well drained soil in full sun. Thyme is typically low maintenance, but will need to be pruned to encourage a bushy growth and prevent woodyness. Sensitive to over watering, as it is prone to to fungal diseases and root rot if conditions are too wet. Harvest in the morning, as concentrations of aromatic oils are highest at this time. Ht. 25-30cm/10-12in.
