A strong, quick grower with lovely flavour. This thyme has leaves that smell like orange when bruised and blooms in summer with white to lilac pink flowers that produce a lot of nectar. For that reason, Thymus vulgaris 'Orange' is a popular plant with bees and beekeepers.

Advice
Cock-a-leekie recipe
This delicious chicken soup is a traditional favourite. It's perfect warming winter food, and brilliant if you've got a little bit of a cold.
Pecan, apple and celery stuffing recipe
I love the way that pecans remain really crisp in a stuffing mix. If you can't find pecans, use walnuts, but toast them for a few minutes first.
Beetroot tart with horseradish cream recipe
This red and gold beetroot tart is delicious served hot or cold for lunch.

Gorgeous flavour
Reviewed 27th May 2017 by Julia This has a mild and pleasant flavour with only a hint of orange. All the plugs did well and are growing at a steady albeit not very fast pace. |
