Meet the citrusy sensation, Orange Thyme, a zesty twist in the herb universe that's here to tantalise your taste buds and turn your cooking game into a flavour fiesta! This is a real burst of sunshine in every leaf.

Imagine the classic thyme you know and love, then add a splash of orange zest – voilà, you've got Orange Thyme! Its vibrant green leaves carry a subtle citrus aroma that'll have you dreaming of Mediterranean sunshine and citrus groves. Orange Thyme is the secret weapon your kitchen's been waiting for. Its fragrance alone is a head-turner, promising a symphony of flavours that can elevate your dishes from ordinary to extraordinary. Toss it into marinades, sprinkle it over roasted veggies, or infuse it into oils for a citrusy kick that'll leave your taste buds doing the tango.

Orange Thyme isn't just for savoury dishes; it's incredibly versatile, also working well in desserts, beverages, and even cocktails. It's a fantastic addition to create a zesty orange thyme-infused lemonade or chopped and sprinkled atop a chocolatey dessert for that classic chocolate-orange combo.

This herb isn't just about the flavour; it's a visual stunner too. The delicate leaves of Orange Thyme are like tiny emerald jewels with a hint of orange blush, making it a charming addition to your herb garden or kitchen windowsill.

What's more, Orange Thyme isn't high-maintenance either. It thrives in well-drained soil, basks in sunlight, and rewards you with a constant supply of aromatic leaves. We've created a whole guide on how to grow thyme for you to ensure you get the best out of your plants, so be sure to give this a read whilst you await the delivery of your new herb plants.

This plant is evergreen, hardy and delicious and also features in our Winter Warmers Foodie Collection. For something similar to complement the flavours, we'd also really recommend Lemon Thyme.
