"Woolly Thyme" ???

I purchased a Thymus simply labeled 'Woolly Thyme' a couple of years ago.
I eventually lost the plant (I hadn't planted it in-ground) and have been trying to locate another since then.

I'm finding *many* sources for Woolly Thyme, but nearly every source states that it has *no scent*.

The plant that I purchased had a very distinctive 'lemony' scent, and I loved the combination of the lovely scent and the tiny 'hairy' leaves.

Is there another Thymus that closely resembles Woolly Thyme that is fragrant?

Does anyone know what I'm looking for, since I obviously don't, lol!!

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Nan. . .there are so many thymes, but the lemony scent narrows it down a bit. . .take a look at these two on the Mountain Valley Growers website which lists 24 varieties of thymes:

http://www.mountainvalleygrowers.com/thydoonevalley.htm

Their catalog list this description for Thymus cv. 'Lemon Frost': Dark green foliage emits a lemony scent. Small oval dense leaves cover runners that creep along the ground.

For Thymus cv. 'Doone Valley' it says: Lemon scented foliage is dark green during the summer blooming period with golden variegations in the spring and fall. Leaves are tinted orange in the cold of winter. Loses its flavor when used in cooking.

If not, it's a great website anyway. ;-D Janet

My Thymus praecox sounds like the same plant you had. It's definitely scented and has a bluish tint to its hairy leaves. It's less than an inch tall in most spots. I think Mountain Valley also sells it.

Thanks you two!

(sigh) I still can't figure out which one it was/is. The leaves were *very* tiny and very noticeably 'hairy'.

Great website though and reasonable prices....maybe I'll order one of each?!

Thanks again, I appreciate your help and the link.
