Oregano: Origanum maru 'Sal's Choice'

The word "oregano" refers to a flavor rather than a specific plant. The superior taste of this variety is great for cooking, and it adapts well to a garden or a pot. The large gray-green leaves of the 'Sal's choice' grow abundantly. The tall stems are hardy and well-behaved and will not spread too quickly in a garden. No wonder Sal made such a choice.
