Oregano 'Golden'

We typically bring Golden Oregano in as an herb and it is a wonderfully mild-flavored variety, suitable for use fresh or dried. However, this variety may also be used as an ornamental ground cover, growing three to 12 inches tall, and spreading up to 18 inches wide. The golden color holds best in full sun and withstands our Pacific NW weather with ease. It does tend to die back in the winter, but may keep on keeping on in milder weather. If the plant gets too wide, don't hesitate to trim off stems for cooking purposes. Pale pinkish flowers appear in summer, attracting bees, but as is true of most fragrant herbs, deer tend to avoid it.
