This low-growing oregano has beautiful golden leaves and a nice aromatic flavor for cooking. It prefers full sun, and loses its color in part shade.
Oregano grows best in rich soil with plenty of sun and water, although it does also tolerate some shade. Pinch back the tips of the branches for the most vigorous and sturdy growth.
Oregano has many of the same carminative, antiseptic, expectorant, and alterative properties of its close cousins: thyme, marjoram, rosemary, and sage.
