Botanical Name: Thymus nummularis
Pizza thyme sometimes known as Italian thyme is a perennial plant with deep green oval shaped leaves and pink flowers in spring /summer. It reaches a height of around 20cm and has a strong flavour and scent of thyme and oregano.
The leaves can be used in any recipe calling for thyme, its strong flavour making it suitable for pizza and pasta. Use in stuffing, soups and sprinkle over baked vegetables. Nice stirred through cooked mushrooms and omelettes or sprinkled on sardines.
In the garden thyme grows well as a companion to cabbage, onions, roses and salad burnet.
Pizza thyme prefers well drained soil in an open sunny position. Suitable for a neutral to slightly alkaline soil and will grow happily in a rock garden. Thyme does not like wet feet and will grow well in a container on a sunny windowsill or veranda. Trim the plant back by about a third after flowering.

I ordered various herbs (Pizza Thyme, Perennial Coriander and African Blue Basil) from Herb Cottage recently. My order was dispatched promptly, but the postal services took their time. So the plants needed a bit of TLC when they arrived. But after a day they had perked up and two weeks later they were twice as big as when then they arrived. I am very happy with the service and the outstanding quality of the herbs. Thank you so much!
AustraliaI am very impressed at the quality of all the herbs I ordered. Also with the packaging & prompt delivery. The wet humid weather has made them grow quickly & my herb garden is full & healthy :)
AustraliaPlants arrived in great shape and have taken to the garden very well. Looking forward to cooking with this in the future! You continue to be my favourite place to source herb plants.
