It's the authentic herb used in za'atar and a distinctive flavour in Levantine cuisine. Rarely grown in the UK, we find it grows really well from seed, happily adapting to life in a container or herb bed.This is a perennial herb which you can expect a smaller harvest from in the first year. It will bulk out over the next few years.
