Questions & Answers
Is lemon thyme a perennial plant?
They're supposed to be perennials meaning theky come back each year, but I bought two and they didn't, sad to say.
Yes, Lemon Thyme is a perennial herb.
Can I just keep these in the container they are shipped in?
Your plants will need to be planted into a larger container or in the ground to continue to grow and thrive.
Is it good for mosquitoes
Yes, many herb plants will deter mosquitos. Mike
Crushed leaves of lemon thyme can repel mosquitoes.
These were the WORST specimens I have ever received. Tiny little sprigs barely alive. Is that usual for this product?
Mine arrived very healthy. They’re very good about replacing them if they seem wilted/severely dehydrated.
Unfortunately, my experience has been that some plants are great, some are terrible. It all depends on where they come from and how they've been cared for. On the whole, I've gotten more bad plants than good ones. If it wasn't for COVID I wouldn't order plants like this online.
We’re sorry to hear your plants arrived in this condition. Please contact us via the email address provided with your shipment.
Do these grow in 86401 Kingman AZ? I want to plant them in a raised garden base. If yes, how do I care for them?
You can grow Lemon Thyme in your area. You can plant them outside in your area starting around Feb. 15. Thyme does best in full sun. Plant in soil with excellent drainage.For best growth, you'll also want to fertilize regularly.
Why can’t I order on line and then get curbside pick up? I am a chemo patient and do not want to go into the store.
Hello, Thank you for your inquiry. We are currently offering curbside pickup in most stores and are working to roll this out to all stores. If you are not being offered curbside when placing the order online then it is not yet available in your area.
