Plants in this genus are all aromatic, no surprise as they are in the mint family...but not all are edible. Of the 20 or so species, the best known are \u003cem\u003eOriganum vulgare\u003c\/em\u003e (culinary oregano) and \u003cem\u003eOriganum majorana\u003c\/em\u003e (Majoram).

This vigorous species, hailing from limestone cliff crevices on the Greek Aegean Islands, forms a 15\" tall x 3' wide patch of semi-woody stems, clothed with small, fragrant, hairy foliage. Starting for us in late June, the clumps are smothered with a dazzling display of small pink flowers. Hot sun, dry soils, and good drainage are the keys to success. Dittany of Amorgos also makes a great patio container specimen, although potted plants will need to be protected below 20 degrees F.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41906975375447,"sku":"10263","price":16.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Origanum-calcaratum.i-10263.s-68189.r-1_4f447d43-5926-47ea-902d-eff95e428e19.jpg?v=1791485832"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/collections\/Origanum-Drops-of-Jupiter-1900x350.jpg?v=1686151867","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/origanum.oembed","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
