Have not seen Mexican oregano offered but it's cousin lemon verbena is
readily available as plants in the spring. Best propagated from
cuttings. I read an article which documented a pretty good success
overwintering the plant by cutting it back after the first frost and
burying it deeply in mulch over the winter.

Hi,

This year I'm going to try growing a Mexican herb garden to complement
the tomatoes and tomatillos I use in preparing homemade Mexican dishes.
I've found sources for cilantro and epazote, but I have some questions
about Mexican Oregano (lippia graveolens):

1.) Have any of you grown it in the triangle area? If so, how well does it grow
in our area?

2.) Where can I find seed/plants? A local source is preferred.

Thanks!
