Lemon Certified Organic Thyme

Lemon Thyme (Thymus x citriodorus) is English Thyme with a citrus twist — the same warm, earthy thyme character infused with a refreshing lemon fragrance that makes it a distinctly different herb in the kitchen. Where English Thyme belongs with roasted meats and French cooking, Lemon Thyme shines in marinades, fish dishes, salads, light cream sauces, and lemon-forward recipes where a bright citrus-herb combination is exactly what’s called for. USDA-Certified Organic, evergreen in Zones 5–9, and as beautiful in the landscape as it is useful on the plate. Arrives potted in quality soil and ready to plant.

Citrusy Lemon Fragrance and Flavor — Thyme Elevated

Lemon Thyme’s flavor profile is genuinely distinctive — the familiar warm, earthy thyme character combined with a bright lemon fragrance that lifts and brightens everything it touches. It’s exceptional in fish and seafood marinades where the citrus note complements and enhances. Outstanding in fresh salads and light vinaigrettes. Beautiful in lemon-herb compound butters, infused into olive oil, and scattered over roasted vegetables where its freshness is a natural counterpart to caramelized flavors. The antiseptic aromatic properties also make it valued beyond the kitchen for natural household applications.

USDA-Certified Organic — Ready to Plant

Every Stark Bro’s Lemon Thyme arrives USDA-Certified Organic, potted in quality soil, and ready to plant. Harvest sprigs throughout the growing season by snipping from the top — the plant regrows readily, and regular harvesting keeps it compact and productive. The flavor is at its most intense just before the flowers open in mid-summer.

Pink and Lavender Flowers — Beautiful in the Landscape

In mid-summer, Lemon Thyme produces delicate pink and lavender flowers that add genuine ornamental charm to herb beds, container plantings, and border fronts. The low, spreading habit works beautifully as a fragrant edge plant or container filler, and the evergreen foliage in Zones 5–9 provides year-round structure and kitchen access.
