THYME ITALIAN 100MM

Italian Thyme (Pizza Thyme) – 100mm Pot

Italian Thyme, also known as Pizza Thyme, is a popular culinary herb valued for its strong, robust flavour and aromatic small leaves. Widely used in Mediterranean cooking, it is especially suited to pizza, pasta sauces, roasted vegetables, and meats, where a deeper, more pronounced thyme flavour is desired.

Compared to common thyme, Italian Thyme typically has a stronger, more pungent taste, making it a favourite for cooks wanting bold flavour in their dishes.

This hardy, low-growing perennial forms a dense mound of fine, grey-green foliage, with small pale flowers that attract pollinators. Ideal for herb gardens, pots, borders, and edging, it combines culinary use with ornamental appeal.
