| Does anyone have this plant or know where to get it? How is it propagated? It's supposed to be a Texas Native but I can't find it anywhere. I'd love to give it a try. I just lost a variegated oregano that didn't like getting soaked then scorched (crazy weather). I thought this might be a better replacement. I found it one place online but shipping was not affordable. |

| Looking up the botanical name online I see that your talking about what's commonly called Mexican oregano! It's a great plant. Blooms all summer and I use its leaves for flavoring all the time. It starts very easily from cuttings, but it doesn't produce seeds. One site said this is likely from the lack of a proper polinator. Nurseries in San Antonio usually carry it. Hopefully, you'll be directed to one that sells it in your area, or someone local that will offer cuttings. |

| Austin nurseries carry it. I love growing it. I have never had any luck mailing cuttings that were not rooted. |
