A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2006 lemon something?

a while back someone was talking about an herb (I think) that is called lemon something that smells great. I want to get some seeds but I can't remember what it is. Help please.

Was it lemon Balm...there are alot of lemon named things.

I love the lemon herbs info ! Thanks, Papito !
I love anything lemon. Lemon verbena is my favorite.
Lemon balm always gets blackened edges for me, dunno why, but it's annoying and not attractive.

The Lemon Basil looks good, I may have to get some of that to grow. Thanks papito for the link!

Thanks for the info but this was a plant that someone said they keep beside their door so they can smell it when they come inside.

It was Weezie who said that and I'm almost positive she said it was lemon thyme.

Okey dokey. I'll get some and start sniffing.

another question. Can lemon thyme be grown from seeds? I can't find a place around here that has plants.

Oh sure it can Sheri! I'm thinking about growing some as well. Not only does it smell beautiful, but it adds such flavor to many dishes!!

Yep, Lemon Thyme...to me, it smells when
you rub it or move it...
I can't say it smells just in general...

It is a lovely lemony smell, and reallllly picks me up... *I can just remember it's smell now and it's still invigorating in memory*

I bought mine as a plant, and haven't noticed
it by seed or not...*the plant does spread,
but I thought it was rooting at the nodes..*

thanks

lemon verbena- this might be TMI but it's in my deodorant and i LOVE the smell

There is no lemon thyme in the city of Monroe. Where in the world do you find it?

For when I found some, it was not local either...
I had to go to the Buffalo area to find some..
(it's not a basic gardening plant like a geranium... so it might take a bigger place to find it..)


And I'm not sure about seeds...mine was a already started, 2"pot/container..

Found some at Lowe's this mornining. Yipee.
