Oregano Mexican (Lippia graveolens) Unity Grown

Lippia graveolens, also called Mexican oregano, is a distant relative of Greek oregano native to Central America and the American Southwest. Grows to a taller height than most common oregano varieties, but with a similar, lemony oregano flavor, Mexican oregano also produces yellow-white flowers throughout the spring and summer that are beneficial to pollinators.

Mexicano oregano is a must-have for Mexican and TexMex recipes like chili, salsa, and braised meats, and leaves and can be used fresh or dried. Mature plants can reach a height of up to 4' tall and wide, spreading to resemble a small shrub over time. Plants are a bit sensitive to frost, but do very well in summer heat.

Mexican oregano will be available in 4" containers in the late spring.
