Tarzan

Thyme 'Tarzan' – an evergreen low-growing shrub with a branching stem, growing along the ground. Leaves are small and dark green, while the lilac-pink flowers are gathered in loose inflorescences. The plant has a strong, sharp aroma and a bitter taste, making it a popular spice for cooking.

'Tarzan' is a light-loving and drought-resistant plant that grows well on non-acidic, drained soils. To maintain its bushiness, it is pinched. Under home conditions, it can be grown in pots on a windowsill during winter.

The culture is valued for its antiseptic and bactericidal properties. In respiratory tract diseases, digestive disorders, and for infection prevention, the plant is often used as a medicinal preparation. Additionally, it is used as a remedy for alcoholism. In cooking, thyme 'Tarzan' is added to sauces, vegetable, meat, fish dishes, and poultry dishes, as well as to tea, liqueurs, and vinegars, giving dishes a rich aroma and taste.
