Native Thyme is a highly aromatic shrub, rich in essential oils, giving off a minty aroma when crushed or rubbed.
With hints of pepper and earthy tones, it makes a great flavoursome herb for a range of meats such as chicken, fish, emu, kangaroo and lamb. Both the leaves and flowers have minty qualities, and may be steeped in hot water to make a herbal tea.
Harvest fresh leaves off the growing plant, or prune whole stalks at a time.
I have mine in a pot with full sun at various times in the day. It has grown fast, reaching up to 2m tall and wide.
