Oregano Country Cream is a bushy, deciduous, perennial herb plant with small, aromatic, attractive green leaves edged with cream. In summer, tiny pink flowers bloom in loose sprays until early autumn. This is an excellent herb for adding an extra touch of delicious flavour to Mediterranean, Mexican and Greek dishes, but especially ones prepared with lamb meat.
Plant Oregano Country Cream in well-drained, chalky or loamy soil in full sun or partial shade. Harvest leaves as desired, and any which are leftover can be frozen for use during the winter months.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
