General: Pink to peach flowers with purplish bracts attract bees and butterflies. Attractive, aromatic plants. Oregano is easy to grow. Great used in tomato based dishes. Medicinal Uses: This member of the oregano family has a strong history as magical herb - it is believed to symbolize love and act as aphrodisiac. The traditional medicine uses are generally used during childbirth to help ease spasms and it also makes a great digestive tea. Ornamental Uses: This oregano is a spreading, fragrant oregano with fuzzy grey-green round leaves and papery pink bracts that make nice dried flowers. It is mostly grown as an ornamental and does not have much oregano flavor. |

Comment: Ordered it a year ago. It arrived healthy and grew nicely during the summer producing beautiful flowers. Unfortunately it did not survive a very harsh winter we had in the NorthEast. Perhaps I should have planted it in a pot and took it inside for the winter...
