Description: Variegated oregano is a spreading plant to about 18 inches, but only reaches 4-12 inches in height. The leaves are small and splashed with gold. It has a low, protrate habit, perfect for a rock garden or edging plant near pathways. Let it spill out of containers by placing it along the edges. Variegated oregano has a subtle, mild flavor that won't overwhelm Italian dishes and vegetables.
