Photo of Origanum Aureum (Oregano – herb - origan)
Origanum vulgare Aureum - Oregano – herb - origan - It is a golden-leaved cultivar of common oregano. It is a sprawling, rhizomatous perennial that typically forms a foliage mat 6-12" tall and spreads by rhizomes to 18" or more. Oval, golden leaves (to 1" long) are mildly aromatic. Tiny, pinkish-purple, two-lipped flowers (typical mint family) rise above the foliage in summer in terminal or axillary spikes. Flowers are conspicuous but not of high ornamental value. Leaves are used either fresh or dried to flavor food dishes, particularly in Italian cuisine. Family : Lamiaceae
