Origanum vulgare ‘Thumbles Variety’ is a culinary perennial herb that forms a dense cushion of golden leaves that slowly turn light green in the summer.
The leaves are small, round and have a somewhat spicy aroma.
The flowers are a soft pink and have a lovely honey fragrance.
As a honey plant, this oregano attracts a large number of pollinators and bees.
TECHNICAL NOTES:
- As a perennial herb, it will generally die back in the winter but will return in the spring. The foliage may turn brown or shrivel up as temperatures drop, but the plant’s root system remains alive underground, allowing it to regenerate when warmer weather returns. In colder climates, it may lose all its leaves, while in milder areas, it might retain some greenery.
- Prune the plant in late fall or early spring to encourage healthy growth when the growing season resumes.
The Tale:
The wild species, better known as Marjoram, is a fast-growing bushy perennial.
It belongs to the family of mints and sages and is commonly found in the mountainous regions of the Mediterranean Basin and temperate Asia.
As a culinary herb, Oregano evokes Mediterranean cuisine – from fresh tomato sauces to omelets, poultry, fish, vegetables… Everything really!
This variety is particularly well-known in Italy for enhancing pasta, tomato sauces, and pizzas.
Just to add an Ancient Egyptian note: Oregano was used in preparations for embalming the dead.
