Add Your Opinion About This Plant
The white blooming oregano is thought to be more fragrant than the purple blooming variety when used as a spice .
I like this opinion
The purple flowered common oregano is not nearly as spicy, and can be very invasive, as I found out 20 years ago. The white flowered oregano is the greek oregano or subspecies hirtum. One way to tell is to eat a leaf in the nursery. It will pack a huge punch, and is much harder to propagate.
