Origanum vulgare

Oregano vulgare is classified as the Italian oregano.  Oregano is a delicious culinary herb used in pasta sauce, pizza just to name a few.  This herb also has many medicinal qualities.  It is high in anti oxidants, anti inflammatory, cough suppressant, antimicrobial and rich in vitamins A, E, K and high in potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron.  Also used for wound healing.  I try to put herbs in almost everything I eat.  Grows all year in most places, very frost and heat tolerant.  Once established regular use or pruning is vital for full bushy plants.
