Quick Guide

  • Lemon-scented evergreen herb
  • Mauve-pink summer flowers attract pollinators
  • Thrives in full sun, well-drained soil
  • Easy to grow, drought-tolerant perennial
  • Perfect for culinary use and gardens

A classic Mediterranean herb with highly aromatic, lemon-scented foliage, Thymus citriodorus brings flavour and fragrance to any sunny garden spot. This compact evergreen perennial produces delicate mauve-pink flowers throughout summer, which are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

Perfect for herb gardens, rock gardens, borders and containers, lemon thyme is easy to grow with minimal care. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil and water sparingly once established — it is drought-tolerant and strongly dislikes waterlogged conditions. Cut back lightly after flowering to maintain a neat, compact shape.

Plant Guide

Plant in spring or autumn in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained, chalk or loamy soil. Space 30–45cm apart. Water moderately until established, then sparingly as lemon thyme is drought-tolerant. Cut back after flowering to encourage bushiness. Propagate easily from softwood cuttings or by layering. Harvest fresh leaves year-round for cooking; use for a subtle lemon flavour in teas, marinades and fish dishes.

Delivery Areas

We deliver within the M25 area of London. For deliveries of Pots & Planters outside this zone, we may be able to help on a case-by-case basis — please contact our sales team at [email protected]. You are also welcome to visit our garden centre in Kentish Town, where our team will be happy to help in person.

Delivery Costs & Delivery Day

Delivery charges are based on postcode zone within the M25. Enter your postcode at the top of this page to see your zone and cost, or check at checkout. You can also select your preferred delivery day at checkout.

Delivery Timeframes

We aim to deliver orders within 2–4 working days. During peak seasons, such as Christmas, delivery times may vary slightly due to increased demand. We will keep you informed at every stage.

Third-Party Couriers

For London postcodes outside a 5-mile radius of our Kentish Town garden centre, we may occasionally use a third-party courier for delivery. In these cases, we try our best to still deliver the items in the requested delivery time slot but please be aware that occasionally this may not always be possible and is out of our control.

Delivery Discrepancies

Please check your order as soon as it arrives. If there is any discrepancy — such as a missing, incorrect, or damaged item — please contact us within 48 hours of delivery so we can put things right. After this time, we will assume the order was received complete and in good condition. We are unable to take responsibility for damage that has occurred after this period.

Click & Collect

We encourage you to collect from our garden centre in Kentish Town — it saves on delivery costs and gives you the chance to see our full range of plants and products in person.

All Click & Collect orders must be collected within 7 days of being ready, unless a later date has been arranged with us in advance. If an order is not collected within this time, it will be cancelled and a refund issued.

Returns Policy

If you need to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange a return or exchange. Products must be in their original condition and packaging. Plants may be non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or defective.

Items bought in-store or collected can be returned directly at the garden centre. If you would like us to collect a return and it is in good condition (e.g. you have changed your mind), it must be in its original condition, and the same delivery cost will apply for the return.

Plants marked as reduced for end-of-season clearance are non-refundable, as they are sold specifically to clear stock. This does not apply to special offers or multibuy promotions, which are eligible for returns as per our standard terms.

Creating an urban paradise

Our dream is to transform urban living into a plant lovers' paradise. Making our neighbourhoods a wonderful place is good for our wellbeing and more friendly to the environment. A shared vision that gets us out of bed in the morning.

We've curated a botanical sanctuary

Our team of horticulturists planned our garden centre to show plants in their natural habitat, with inspirational displays. Looking for plants is like taking a walk in a botanical sanctuary.
And for those that consider our canine friends an essential part of life, bring your best mate along. Hopefully, they'll get along with our house cat Blue Bell.

Our garden centre specialises in rare specimen plants beyond the common garden varieties. We also stock everything you need to cultivate your dream garden, home and office, with the largest range of plants, pots and containers in North London.
