Height:
5cm x 40cm (2in x 15in)
Suitable for:
Sunny well drained spot.
Containers, rockeries and paths.
Summary:
This is a creeping evergreen cultivar with bright gold and green variegated leaves,
scented lightly with a lemon fragrance.
The foliage is so attractive that the plant can be grown for this reason alone,
but as an added bonus there are purple flowers in late June / July.

Outside of the flowering season the foliage of Thyme 'Doone Valley' makes a fine contrast
when planted with the green leaved varieties of thyme in a path or lawn.
Whilst very ornamental, this is also a good culinary thyme,
(albeit time consuming to pick!) with a fruity lemon flavour to be used with poultry, fish and desserts.
