Thyme ‘Doone Valley’ (Thymus × citriodorus ‘Doone Valley’)
A beautifully aromatic, lemon‑scented creeping thyme with golden‑variegated foliage and masses of pink summer flowers 🌿💛🌸
🌿 Thyme ‘Doone Valley’ is a low‑growing, lemon‑scented thyme known for its striking golden‑variegated foliage and carpets of soft pink flowers in summer. A hybrid of citrus thyme, it forms a dense, aromatic mat that brightens borders, rockeries, paths, and herb gardens.
Highly ornamental and wonderfully fragrant, it’s ideal for edging, groundcover, and pollinator‑friendly planting. Tough, drought‑tolerant, and evergreen in mild winters, it’s one of the most decorative and versatile thymes you can grow.
‘Doone Valley’ thyme has a bright, citrus‑herbal flavour reminiscent of lemon thyme with warm, earthy undertones.
