LIMON

Engineering parameters and morphology

The 'Lemon' thyme variety, developed by experts at the CSBG SB RAS, is a specialized groundcover cultivar adapted to environments with significant temperature stress. The vegetative mass reaches a height of 20–35 cm, classifying it as a mid-sized variety within the culinary herb category.

Growth Architecture

The biological development mechanism of this variety is focused on forming a dense groundcover mat. The dark green foliage exhibits high leaf density, allowing the crop to effectively suppress weed growth in decorative landscaping areas. The root system and shoots are genetically programmed for tight adherence to the substrate, creating a stable turf.

Agrotechnical Advantages

• Hardiness: Selection by Siberian botanists has imbued the variety with increased resistance to sharp temperature fluctuations.
• Decorative Potential: The dark green leaf color maintains aesthetic value throughout a prolonged growing season.
• Practical Application: The height of up to 35 cm makes it an optimal solution for alpine slides, borders, and soil stabilization on slopes.

Utilizing this variety in landscape projects minimizes maintenance costs: the density of the coverage limits moisture evaporation and prevents soil erosion, simultaneously fulfilling aesthetic and technical functions.
