Add bold foliage and delicious fragrance to your garden or kitchen with Cuban Oregano, a unique, fast-growing plant prized for its thick, fuzzy leaves and strong herbal aroma. Also known as Mexican Mint or Spanish Thyme, this variety is not a true oregano but offers a similar, robust flavor that makes it a favorite in both ornamental and culinary gardens.
Its succulent-like, green leaves edged in creamy white give it a striking, tropical appearance that stands out in containers, herb gardens, and mixed borders. Ideal for sunny spots, Cuban Oregano is also drought-tolerant and low maintenance—perfect for beginner gardeners and herb enthusiasts alike.
Whether you're growing it for its bold look or flavorful leaves, Cuban Oregano brings beauty, utility, and fragrance to any garden space.
