Notes
'Greek Oregano' oregano (Origanum vulgare 'Greek Oregano') is an herb for food gardens, containers, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. The fragrant stems cascade and reach 12 to 36 inches tall. Bees and butterflies visit the white blooms in summer. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Creeping thyme, SuperBlue lavender, and Sage.
