Common Names: Mexican Oregano, Rosemary Mint

Mexican Oregano is a lovely bushy perennial that typically reaches heights and widths of 3 to 4 feet in the southwestern U.S. However, in more northern regions, it may grow a bit shorter. This plant, which hails from Northeastern Mexico and Haiti, features square stems with bushy growth, adorned with smooth, shiny, oblong, aromatic leaves that are about an inch long. These flavorful leaves are commonly used in cooking, offering a delightfully robust taste reminiscent of oregano. You can also enjoy slender lavender-pink tubular flowers that bloom during the summer and fall months.

This resilient plant is winter hardy in USDA Zones 8-10 and really flourishes in rich, medium-moisture, well-drained soils under full sun. It's perfectly suited for hot and humid climates while also being able to handle some shade. Plus, it can withstand brief periods of drought. For gardeners in areas north of Zone 8, it can be grown in containers and brought indoors to a sunny window during the winter months.
