Lemon

Rich, lemon-scented leaves. Perennial to USDA zone 6.

Rich, lemon-scented leaves are good fresh or dried in salads, soups, stews, sauces, and meat or fish dishes. Perennial to zone 6.

• Choose a sunny location (6+ hours of sun) and dig a hole about two times as wide as your pot.

• Remove your plant from the pot by loosening the soil and tipping it out into your hand. Place your plant in the soil about as deep as it was in the pot.

• Refill the space around your plant with soil and press lightly to compact the dirt, keeping your plant firmly in the ground.

• Water immediately to settle the soil, and add more soil as needed, bringing it level to the rest of your garden.

Thyme requires very little attention – water only in very dry conditions and fertilize sparingly.
