Hardy perennial bushy herb with a tongue numbing flavour when raw – best eaten cooked or dried. Green downy leaves and white flowers (as opposed to the pink of common oregano, although rarely this species can also throw pale pink flowers). Leaves are used fresh or dried for fish, cheese, tomato, soup and meat dishes and especially pizza. Medicinally it has a long history of use for respiratory and digestive problems, in the treatment of colds and flu, and to promote menstruation. A tea made of the leaves is soothing and restful. A must for the herb garden. Full sun. Height to 45cm.
9cm pot

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
