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.
HARVEST
Harvest at any stage. For edible herb usage, harvest before flowering. Expect a vase life of 7 days.
GROWING
Full Sun
Grows 12-24 inches tall.
Space 8-12 inches apart
NOTES
Pinch to encourage bushiness
