description for "Oregano: Origanum vulgare 'Aureum'"
Golden oregano, primarily a landscape plant, is edible with a mild oregano flavor. Its golden leaves make this plant a wonderful addition to the flower border. Golden oregano is a low grower, rarely getting over 10 inches tall. Use it to edge a pathway or garden bed. Can be planted outdoors in the Autumn. Gardeners in northern zones should keep the tender perennials and desirable annual herbs indoors during the cold months.
