Origanum vulgare ‘Variegata’ — Variegated Oregano

Description

Variegated Oregano is a useful herb with green leaves edged in cream. It has a mild oregano taste and a low, neat habit. It is a good fit for an herb garden, a pot, or a sunny bed.

How to Grow Variegated Oregano

Give it full sun and soil that drains well. Let the soil dry a bit between drinks. Wet soil can harm the roots. For another easy kitchen herb, grow it near Winter Thyme.

Kitchen Use

Pick fresh leaves as you need them. Use them with pizza, pasta, meat, beans, and roast food. The taste is mild and warm. It also pairs well with Berggarten Sage.

Simple Care

Trim the stems to keep the plant full. Small flowers may form in warm weather. Bees may visit the blooms. Cut out any plain green shoots if you want to keep the cream leaf edge.
