Properties and uses:
The golden Oregano 'Aureum' has beautiful, dense golden yellow foliage. This small bushy shrub attracts bees and is perfect grown in a rockery, in aromatic beds or in pots.

The Oregano stems are harvested from May to November, preferably in the morning. Dry them in the shade and keep them in an airtight container.
