Mexican Oregano is a woody plant that can withstand a few degrees of frost. In Mexico and surrounding areas, it is a popular herb due to its unique addition of spiciness to the well-known oregano aroma. The lavender-colored, tubular flowers adorn this plant, which can grow up to 1 meter tall. Regular pruning rejuvenates the plant. Give them a moist but not too wet, sunny spot. In case of severe frost, overwinter in a shed.
