Hi, I'm in zone 5a and bought a lemon thyme plant earlier this year. I put it in a bigger pot and it seemed to do pretty well for a couple of months. A few stems actually produced flowers, which I wasn't expecting as I'd heard it does not produce seed. Quite a few of the leaves have turned to a slightly bronze color too. I know it cannot survive the Winter here and was planning on bringing it in before our first frost, but now I'm wondering if it is supposed to go dormant or will just die off anyway. Any advice would be welcome. I'd like to keep it alive if possible.
