Selected for its uniformity, flavor, aroma, and high yields, award-winning Origanum syriacum ‘Cleopatra’ (Syrian Oregano) is a bushy and compact perennial herb with erect stems densely covered with small, egg-shaped, silvery gray leaves. Unlike Greek and Italian oreganos, Cleopatra has a mild, spicy flavor with a hint of peppermint. Many cooks prefer adding it to their roasted vegetables and savory meat dishes. It works well in a raised bed as well as containers. Dry the leaves harvested from this high-yield plant for use year-round.
