It looks like Origanum vulgare, Oregano to me. |

It looks like oregano to me, too. It's tough! Basil can't take any kind of frost and cold weather. That doesn't come back. First frost and it's gone. |

I finally started some oregano this year. I had such a dilemma about where to put it. Then I realized, it doesn't matter if it's in a high traffic, blistering hot, thin soil area. So that's where it went! |

I thought it might be Marjoram as well, txrose.  Did some research & find these two are very close. Origanum majorana is Sweet Marjoram. Here's an article which makes some sense out of the differences between them (just a sidenote, spelling of Coleus amboinicus, if anyone cares):http://www.sallys-place.com/food/columns/gilbert/o regano.htm You can wait till it flowers & see which one it is!

Marjoram and oregano look very similar. My marjoram, sweet marjoram, is very aromatic. All you need do is brush the leaves to get the aroma. With my oregano, you have to really crush the leaf. The flowers on my oregano are pink where the flowers on the sweet marjoram are white. |
