Wild Marjoram (Origanum vulgare) is a perennial herb growing to about 60cm. The buds at the top of the stem open to show lilac, pink or occasionally white thyme like flowers. The leaves are long, oval and usually slightly toothed and are sweetly scented. Wild marjoram is also known as oregano, though this name also refers to a cross between sweet marjoram (Origanum majorana) and wild marjoram (O. vulgare). Cultivars of both are widely used culinary herbs. This herb is native to the region stretching from southern Europe to China.
