Oregano Cleopatra

2015 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

Cleopatra is the third of the organic herbs introduced at this time. Pretty silver gray foliage makes this another herb that will be appreciated for its ornamental value. Unique from Greek and Italian oreganos, Cleopatra has a mildly spicy, pepperminty flavor perfect in Mediterranean dishes, soups, and sauces.

This compact, trailing plant produces a high yield of leaves that are wonderful as a dried spice when fresh isn’t an option.
