General information about Oregano (Origanum):Oregano (Origanum) is an herb-like plant for in the full sun in normal to moist, well-draining soil. Oregano we know best for its use in the kitchen, but some species are being grown because of their foliage or flowers. For use in the kitchen, Wild Oregano is best. In the right conditions, Oregano can spread vigorously by means of rhizomes or self-seeding. The species 'rotundifolium' has flowers that look like a hop-bell or shrimp. These species can be a bit less hardy. Use these in the rockery or in a pot on the patio where the bells will hang nicely over the edge of the pot. Oregano attracts lots of insects and butterflies and is perfect for a butterfly garden. Good partners for Oregano are other drought lovers, such as Stonecrop (Sedum), Lamb's Ear (Stachys byzantina), St. John's Wort (Hypericum), Cinquefoil (Potentilla) and Lavender (Lavandula).Wild Oregano - Origanum vulgare
