Visitors to this page have left the following comments| M. Stewart | Aug 29, 2011 | Even asked nursery workers, but didn't have name. Looks like your photo of "unnamed variety of oregano." Somewhat like the oregano in a pot I planted. Invasive, bees love it; strong pungent, herbal smell, especially when cut or pulled. |
- Seed from 'Heiderose' from '00 trade. Baggy 70F (good germination)
- Same seed as above. Baggy 70F (50%G, 7-14d)
