Some Herbs may be too tall for our standard packaging and will be trimmed to fit. This will not be detrimental to the plant but will mean that these herbs will flower later in the year.

Creeping Lemon Thyme (Thymus pulegioides 'Kurt')Herb in 9cm Pot
Thyme is grown the world over as it is such a versatile plant, not only is its foliage is attractive, the flowers are long-lasting and very pretty, and it is drought tolerant - an overall easy-care plant. On top of that it is one of the most useful herbs for the kitchen.
Creeping Lemon Thyme reaches a maximum height of 5-7 cm and with its small green leaves and bright pink flowers on longer stems up to 3" long which appear in May and June it is very decorative. It has small green aromatic leaves which are evergreen given the right conditions, this creeping thyme is suitable for planting in the rock garden, herb garden or the front of a border, or perhaps plant between pavers or at the edge of gravel paths as the aromatic leaves release a lovely lemony scent when trodden on. Creeping Lemon Thyme likes a well-drained light soil, which should not be too rich in nutrients as this will only encourage the plant to grow 'leggy' and lose its compact shape, also ensure that the plant is cut back after flowering again to help maintain shape. Being a native of the Mediterranean it needs a place in full sun.
Herb Usage
Creeping Lemon Thyme is an excellent herb for brightening up a herb garden as edging or as a feature plant, it can be used as a path thyme between flag stones and within turf. It is often found on rockeries and it is both decorative and culinary.
