Conehead Thyme grows slowly into a two foot wide mound that eventually reaches one to three feet in height. When it blooms, it is completely covered with incredibly spicy purple blossoms. Garnish salsa verde or guacamole with the hot little flowers of Conehead Thyme. Or, add the flowers with other chopped herbs like Oregano and Thyme and add to salad dressings. |

The leaves are also quite hot and are traditionally used as a component in the Middle Eastern spice blend called Zatar. You can see why the word thyme is associated with this plant. Look at those little needles which are definitely reminiscent of English Thyme. And, the flavor is like thyme with the heat turned up. |
