Kim Smith on Feb 28, 2015It looks like it might me a variety of thyme? Maybe it was Lemon Thyme? Pinch off and crush a leaf and give it a sniff? Thyme with lemon undertones?Helpful Reply

Nancy Nesbitt on Feb 28, 2015I agree with Rhonda. Sorry, but it is probably a weed. If you did plant "real" lemon tree seeds, they either didn't germinate yet or have rotted and won't. How long have the seeds been planted? You may want to Google "lemon tree seed" and check to see if you received true seeds and/or what type of conditions they need to germinate.Helpful Reply

Carole on Mar 01, 2015Are you sure you heard correctly? Could have said lemon Thyme. Does is have any lemon scent if you crush the leaves in your hands or smell or taste like thyme? This is a herb you use in cooking. Google Thyme. One of the images that comes up is stepping stone thyme and this looks similar to what you have there.Helpful Reply

365Designs on Mar 01, 2015Looks like the lemon seeds didn't germinate but instead weed seeds that just happen to be in the soil did you use soil from your yard or a bag soil mix?Helpful Reply

Judy Mitchell on Mar 01, 2015If this is lemon basil or thyme? Pull it up at once. Very invasive. Still trying to get it out of my garden after more than thirty years.Helpful Reply

Christine Wiseman on Mar 01, 2015If what you planted is actually a lemon seed it has not sprouted yet. What you do have is a fast growing weed, (looks like Scarlet pimpernel, which has a cute flower) that has popped up first. A lemon seed will take a very long time to germinate. You can speed up the germination process by removing the seed coat of the lemon seed.Helpful Reply

Karen Jackson on Mar 01, 2015They were very tiny seeds and I planted them in Miracle Grow potting soil. I knew they looked nothing like a lemon seed but she said lemon tree. I have crushed a leaf and it smells like grass, I also tasted it and it tasted like grass. Think she was pulling a fast one on me. Live and Learn. Thanks for all the answers.Helpful Reply

Lisa on Mar 01, 2015Looks like lemon thyme. I plant this as well as German thyme to use in cooking. Should have a bit of a lemony scent when you crush the leaves.Helpful Reply

Cherie on Mar 01, 2015You actually can plant lemon seeds to get a tree. This is not a lemon tree, it's a weed. Just take the seeds from a lemon and plant in potting soil (not Miracle Grow) and cover planter with plastic wrap. After you see a little bit of green poking up, remove the plastic and grow as you would any other plant. I see you live in Kentucky, so to grow it to full size you will need a large planter that you can move to outdoors and back in. The way I used to grow any kind of citrus seed was with a terrarium - I'd just replant them in pots if I wanted to grow them to any size.Helpful Reply

Dwi5997718 on Nov 02, 2016If it has a bristly feel to leaves, this is a weed. Form of chickweed I think. Find the roots and pull it up then take them far away or in garbage leaving your house. Don't discard in weed pile or woods.Helpful Reply
