Cuban Oregano is a tender edible perennial herb with a creeping habit and slightly fuzzy, succulent-like scalloped foliage with an aroma similar to a cross between thyme and oregano. Violet or white-pink flowers may bloom in the summer. Grows best with high humidity and good indirect sun in fertile well-drained soils. Excellent for containers or as a houseplant. Treat as an annual when planted outside.
