Origanum vulgare ‘Variegatum’ is a culinary perennial herb that forms a dense cushion of pale green leaves edged with a cream border.


The foliage is particularly charming—pale green edged with creamy white—and gives off a strong, aromatic scent that makes this herb both decorative and useful.

The flowers on this variety appear towards the end of summer/beginning of autumn, in loose clusters of pale pink or white flowers, attracting pollinators and adding soft patches of color to the garden.

Oregano is an absolute must-have in any well-stocked, sunny herb garden.

Its leaves are key in Mediterranean dishes, from pizza toppings and pasta sauces to marinades and herb-infused oils for salad dressings.

Must – Have. And this one is pretty too!


👩‍🌾GARDENING TIPS👩‍🌾:

    • 🔄 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.
    • 💦 Keep plants well watered during the growing season, especially in hot weather.
    • 💇‍♀️ To maintain a neat, compact shape, cut back established plants by two-thirds in late summer, preventing them from becoming leggy.

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.
