I love the scent of this plant and like to chew it to freshen my breath — it's got thymol, which kills bacteria and is added to mouthwash. Each spring I take cuttings and plant them in new places around the yard. They root well while it's still cool and wet — later in the year it's too warm and they just dry up.

I am amazed at the tea that this plant makes. I was truly blown away after tasting some. I have always grown this plant but never attempted to use it in a culinary way. That has changed from this point on.

All the lemon-scented varieties of thyme are very vigorous spreading plants. Many have foliage with some degree of variegation during the course of the year. All are very suitable for landscaping use as well as culinary.
