Thyme - Doone Valley

Thyme Doone Valley has it all in our opinion. It’s a delightful, undemanding creeping thyme, with stunning golden-green leaves which become studded with pretty pink to purple flowers in summer. Add in a strong lemon scent and zesty flavour and you’ve got all the thyme boxes ticked! Thymus citriodorus ‘Doone Valley’, is an attractive perennial herb which is a treat for the senses, offering ornamental appeal alongside many culinary uses and medicinal benefits. Its colourful, low-growing foliage can take on richer golden and bronze tones in cooler weather, making it an excellent choice for UK herb gardens, rockeries, gravel gardens, containers and sunny borders. A relatively recent cultivar, Doone Valley has all the benefits of modern breeding and is very fragrant with distinctive foliage and lemon-scented leaves. Best of all, it is relatively easy to grow, provided you give it sunshine, well-drained soil and a light touch with the watering can.
