This low-growing, aromatic evergreen herb features a dense, spreading habit, making it an excellent groundcover option. It thrives in hardiness zones 5-9, preferring full sun and well-draining soil. Known for its delightful lemon-scented foliage, the small, variegated leaves showcase blends of green and golden tones that darken in cooler weather. In summer, it produces tiny, lavender-pink flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established, this plant matures to a height of 2-4 inches and spreads 12-18 inches. Its edible leaves add a zesty citrus flavor to recipes, making it a practical, visually appealing addition to landscapes or herb gardens. Perfect for edging, rock gardens, or filling in between pavers, this plant offers beauty and utility year-round.
