This herb has an incredible smell and a good flavor. A low growing herb that as grown as an annual in Ohio. The herb compliments any meat, fish, dairy, or vegetable dish. The flavor is similar to oregano but less strong. It has a strong, sweet smell. This is one of our favorite herbs to have in our cabinet. It grows very quickly and gives a decent harvest. We have successfully overwintered it in a pot so that’s a great option if you decide you can’t live without it!
