Description

Oreganos

This herb is also a perennial, but not as hardy as other oregano, it's likes sun, but not hot midday sun, and likes well drained soil and moderate watering. It only grows to about 45cm tall, making it the smallest of its variety. It has vibrant green leaves edged in ivory, and have white or almost very pale pink flowers. Its low growing prostrate nature means it works wonders in pots or containers, and is perfect in low borders or rockeries. The flavour of variegated oregano is a lot milder than others, but still a great herb to use in the kitchen. Great used in Italian cuisine, or with veggies. It is also used in Greek and Spanish cooking. Due to its mild flavours, this herb works wonders in salads. Leaves can be used fresh or dried. Or you can freeze them in ice cubes for later use. Just defrost and gentle pat dry to use. 4" pot size.

Choisya ternata

Mexican Orange Blossom is so named as it's flowers are of a similar nature and scent to an orange tree! The foliage is a mid to light green and is covered with masses of scented white flowers through Spring and Summer. This attractive shrub will grow to approx. 1.5 - 2m, but is happy to be clipped to suit. As a result it can be also used as a hedge or screen. It is best grown in full sun or part shade and is reasonably frost tolerant.
