Seeds for this herb do not seem to be available, at least not that I
have found. Does anyone have several plants that I could get a couple
of cuttings from? Preferably on the East coast, but I'm not picky.

My email is valid and I do check it regularly.

Thanks.

Mexican Oregano
Lippia graveolens
Uses: Culinary/Medicinal Duration: Perennial (hardy in zones 9-11)

Often sold as true oregano in Mexico and southern U.S. where its fine
oregano flavour is used to great advantage in chilis and other Mexican
dishes. Properly pruned, it will grow into a miniature tree in a bright
window or solarium.

P4318 Plants $4.00/ea, $9.00/3 plants, $28.80/12 plants

IIRC there's a minimum plant order. They don't have to be all the same
type.



Thanks to you both. I will keep them in mind if no one volunteers
cuttings. Then figure out what else I want from them. And then work
very hard to keep them alive over the winter.
