Silver lemon thyme has beautiful silvery leaves.
GROWING TIPS:
Thyme is perennial and likes a sunny spot in a dry, sandy, calcareous soil. It is important that the soil is well-drained, especially to promote survival during the winter. Silver lemon thyme is not fully hardy and should be protected somewhat in winter by a layer of leaves or straw, for example
Thyme also does well when grown in pots. Regular good pruning, especially after flowering, ensures that the plant remains compact
Thyme attracts butterflies and bees in our garden.
Silver lemon thyme has beautiful decorative silver leaves and a strong lemon fragrance.
USES:
The herb goes well with chicken, fish, lamb, veal, fruit salads and in jams. Tea of lemon thyme is also delicious. With hot vegetables and marinades, lemon thyme provides a fresh touch.
Thyme has a mucus-thinning effect, and it is also a powerful antiseptic and disinfectant. This makes thyme a good remedy for respiratory infections. Even preventively, we can drink a thyme infusion (add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme to 1 cup of boiling water, then let it steep for 10 minutes). One cup every day will make us fight colds and flu.Thyme stimulates digestion.The herb stimulates the uterus and therefore use should be avoided during pregnancy.
