Pic of Golden Oregano as Groundcover

Here is a picture of Golden Oregano (Oregano vulgare "Aureum"). Needs full sun. Very drought tolerant. It usually gets a little leggy by mid July. I just shear it within a couple of inches from the ground and fertilize and it comes right back and looks great till frost. This is a great trouble free plant and it's also culinary.

I use this oregano too and love it. Like you say, if it gets too long, you just shear it back and it grows in nice and close again. Much nicer than the thymes for me.

I love it. Does it take long to fill in?

Mine grew at a good clip but didn't spread all over either.
