Oregano (Non-Hardy)
Origanum onites

ZONE 8-11, HT 18", SUN
Traditional pizza spice! Part way through the summer, it gets woody and flavor gets bitter. Cut back to encourage flush of new growth with fresh flavor. Get two plants and you'll always have fresh oregano.

Oregano, Greek (Perennial)
Origanum vulgare hirtum

The true oregano that grows wild in Greece. Very intense flavor, a choice herb for use in Italian cooking. Can also be used as a healing wash for burns, rashes, blisters and poison ivy.
