Mexican Oregano (Lippia graveolens)

04-05-2010, 11:35 AM

Does anyone know where I can buy some of the above? It is actually a member of the verbena family, rather than an oregano proper (see here) and is used in a lot of Tex Mex dishes, which I love cooking.

From what I can gather, it is best grown from a cutting rather than seed, but I'm having a devil of a time trying to find it in the UK. It doesn't aooear very hardy, so I guess it will have to be a pot plant that I bring inside when it gets chilly.

Any ideas?

It's not been listed on the RHS Plantfinder since 2002 ...

I think you can get it if you know someone in the States but for the UK it is a no-no.

Why didn't Noah just swat those 2 greenflies?

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
