Description
Herbaceous perennial plant with a bushy habit and abundant branching, appreciated in gastronomy, cosmetics and herbalism for its leaves with a characteristic spicy flavour in balance with its fresh taste, more delicate than oregano.
It can be grown both in beds and in pots and prefers mild climates with full sun exposure in well-draining soils free from waterlogging.
