Prefers hot dry climate but does well in other environments.
20 - 80 cm Tall.
Used worldwide as Oregano as a
culinary herb. Most popular in Italian-American cuisine. It has an
aromatic, warm and slightly bitter taste,
which can vary in intensity. Good quality Oregano may be strong enough
almost to numb the tongue, but the cultivars adapted to colder climates
often have a lesser flavour. Factors such as climate, seasons and soil
composition may affect the aromatic oils present.
