Pink Lemonade Thyme is a Mountain Valley Growers' introduction. It is unique because it is a non-variegated lemon scented ground cover thyme with profuse pink flowers. Most lemon scented varieties either have white flowers like Lemon Frost Thyme or bloom very little. Pink Lemonade Thyme has dark green, closely spaced leaves and is small enough to use in between flagstone and yet fast growing enough to cover larger spaces.  It is also nice because it blooms later in summer after many other thymes have finished. We are also having luck with it growing well in partial shade as the picture above shows. The top picture shows the thyme after a year and the middle photo shows how much it spread in just three years. Note the proximity to the Rue growing in the background.

This thyme does not have a lemon flavor strong enough for use in the kitchen. For cooking, use Lemon Thyme, a tall prolific grower, full of citrus flavor.
