Origanum syriacum. A wild cousin of Mediterranean Oregano, it has a complex, aromatic taste that reminds us simultaneously of intense Thyme and Oregano. Easy to grow with much the same growing habit as Marcelka, its gray-green leaves are a bit fuzzy in texture. Its heady fragrance will transport you to Arabian bazaars filled with warm savory breads and tantalizing tagines.
