Oregano, Cretan (Origanum onites), potted plant, organic
$8.50
Family: Mint (Lamiaceae)
Hardy to zones 7 to 10. May be grown as an annual, 60 days to harvest.
Perennial subshrub native to the islands of the East Aegean, Greece, Crete, Sicily and Turkey. The purple-tinged flowers are held on a dark-green-leaved plant to 16 inches tall. The leaves from the upright portion of the plant will fall off in the autumn, and the plant will persist as a ground-hugging mat. The herb is highly aromatic and may be harvested throughout the growing season for the production of fresh or dried leaves and flowers that are fruitily fragrant and tasty, like using both oregano and marjoram in the dish. Traditional use (TWM): flavoring agent, antioxidant, antibacterial. Source of borneol, thymol, carvocrol and cedrol. Plant prefers full sun to part shade and a fast-draining soil. Space plants 1 to 2 feet apart.

Will oregano and marjoram species cross pollinate if planted too closely? And is it ok to plants these potted herbs now or wait til spring?
Thanks

Hi Tuffy,
Yes, these do tend to hybridize. Best to wait to plant until spring.
