Thyme Broadleaf
Plectranthus amboinicus
Broadleaf Thyme is also known as Cuban Oregano or Mexican Mint. It has a strong, pungent but savoury flavour, described as a mix of oregano and thyme with a hint of mint.
You can harvest your broadleaf thyme as needed throughout the growing season, just don't remove more than 1/3 of the total foliage so your plant can still produce new growth.
Broadleaf Thyme grows best in full sun with average, well-drained soil. Allow the top few inches of soil to dry out before watering again.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available April through June, depending on suppliers availability.

Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
