Lemon thyme (Thymus × citriodorus) is a perennial plant in the mint family (Lamiaceae) that grows as a bushy subshrub and reaches 20 to 40 cm in height. Its small, oval leaves are glossy green and give off an intense lemony aroma. From May to August, delicate pink to purple flowers appear, attracting numerous insects. Lemon thyme thrives in sunny, dry locations and is used both in cooking and in natural medicine.
