Hallo, it's that time of the year again, when you look into the seed
catalogues and ask 'why are they so expensive.'
However, I have located all my flower, veg and herb seeds, with the
exception of lemon thyme.
Does anyone know who's selling 'em. They are not in Fothergills, Marshall's
or Chiltern's - unless I'm looking in the wrong place !
Regards ......... Paul

There are several varieties of Lemon Thyme listed under the generic name
Thymus x citriodorous of which T.c.Aureus seems to be the best known.
The only example I've been able to trace in seed catalogues is Thymus x
citriodorous fragrantissimus which is listed as Orange Thyme by Halcyon
Seeds - e-mail: for free catalogue.

Plantfinder CD 2000/2001 lists the following suppliers of Lemon Thyme:
