Flowering oregano with pink-purple blooms in a herb garden

Herbs

Origanum vulgare

Oregano

Oregano is an aromatic herb that is indispensable not only in the kitchen but also in the garden. From July to September, clouds of small pink-purple flowers appear, acting as a magnet for bees and butterflies. The herb forms dense clumps of oval, fragrant leaves and releases a warm, spicy scent when touched.
