In fall of 2021, at a nursery closing sale, I bought some supposedly Doone Valley Thyme, which is a (seasonally?) variegated lemon thyme, with beautiful pink-lavender flowers. I have to question if what I got was the true plant, as it grew taller than 3", the variegation is hard to discern, and the flowers last summer were a gorgeous lavender-purple. It is definitely a lemon thyme, whatever it is, and the intense fragrance and gorgeous colors make it worth keeping.
Anyway, it was left in the same pot for 2 winters (it never got planted where I intended), and currently the plant is looking very brown, straggly, and sad. Yet, it still has some green portions, so I decided to see if I could root any. I've never done this before, so I went online looking for a video, and found this excellent one:

I'll try to remember to let you know how this venture turns out.
