Very pretty plant, I love all kinds of tyme cause their so easy to grow. My varigated lemon thyme does not smell of lemon, just smells like common thyme.

I bought this plant last season for its fragrance and because of the vivid variegated leaves. It lasted through my zone 7a winter without problems. It has made itself into a nice little 12" wide tuft now and is thriving. I would recomend it to anyone.
Also serpentine layering works well, mine did it by itself this spring.

This thyme is edged in gold to sometimes cream. It smells strongly of lemon. Lemon thyme is good in (especially for the throat) tea. And is used in cooking. Especially good in fish and chicken. Use to marinate or add to sauces or bake with. It is also fo course lovely.
