Product description
Thyme Golden is a bright and beautiful culinary herb plant, with striking bright yellow foliage which exudes an exquisite lemon scent. In summer, spikes of tiny lilac flowers bloom, creating a stunning display of summer colour.
Plant Thyme Golden in moist, well-drained chalky, loamy or sandy soil in full sun. It’s an excellent option for planting in rock or gravel gardens thanks to its spreading habit, although it will still grow well in patio containers and pots. Like other varieties of thyme, it’s also great for culinary use, in particular for adding flavour to fish and chicken dishes.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Cut back after flowering to maintain the plant’s dense, bushy appearance.
How to Water
Water young plants regularly during their first season. Thyme is drought tolerant once established, only needing to be watered during particularly dry spells. Bear in mind that container-grown plants need to be watered more frequently.
How to Plant
Choose a warm, sheltered spot in full sun and plant thyme in well-draining soil, leaving 20-30cm between plants. In areas with heavy or clay soils, plant thyme in containers with pebbles in the bottom for drainage.
