    Botanical & Common Names
    - Botanical name: Origanum vulgare 'Aureum'.
    - Common names: Oregano Golden

    Background & Origin
    Oregano ‘Golden’ is a vibrant, aromatic herb known for its striking golden-yellow foliage and classic Mediterranean flavour. A decorative and practical addition to herb gardens, patios, or sunny windowsills, it produces small clusters of pink-purple flowers in summer that attract pollinators. The leaves can be used fresh or dried in cooking, adding warmth to dishes like pizza, pasta, and roasted vegetables. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is both drought-tolerant and easy to grow.
