Thyme is one of the best-known and most widely used herbs, grown as a culinary plant and also used as an alpine plant in rock gardens, patios, as an alternative to lawns and even path edging.

Thymus citriodorus 'Archers Gold' is a low-growing, mat-forming lemon-scented thyme, bearing golden-yellow-green leaves and pink flowers in summer. It's perfect for use in culinary dishes, particularly chicken and fish recipes.

Thyme plants thrive in hot sunshine and drought, so grow them in a sheltered spot in full sun and free-draining soil.
