Oregano is used in a variety of cuisines as a fresh herb, or a dried spice late in the year when fresh is not available. Differing from Italian and Greek oreganos, ¡®Cleopatra¡¯ has a unique mild spice laced with peppermint coolness, a perfect pairing to roasted veggies and savory meat dishes. The compact creeping habit with sultry silvery gray foliage makes an impeccable container plant, ground cover, or border plant in the garden.
