French term or phrase: thym citron panaché

From a text on gardening, this part deals with fresh herbs. Also known as "Thymus citriodorus Variegatus", but I just can't seem to find it anywhere. Any veteran gardeners out there care to try?

Variegated lemon thyme

Explanation:
I have that very same plant in my garden! I love plants and garden catalogues, and garden a lot.

Richter's Herb catalog lists many thymes, such as Silver Thyme (T. vulgaris 'Argenteus'), Lemon Thyme (T. x citriodorus), Golden Lemon Thyme (T. x citriodorus 'Aureus')...

I suspect yours might be the Aureus, but Variegatus is always panaché / variegated.

Hope this helps,
Regards
Lysanne

variegated lemon thyme

Explanation:
We used to have some of this in the back garden when I was a little girl (although it may not have been variegated!). I used to love the smell of it ...

The link below suggests "Thymus citriodorus" alone is variegated lemon thyme.
