Pic of Golden Oregano as a groundcover

New Hope, PA

Here is a picture of Golden Oregano (Oregano vulgare "Aureum"). Needs full sun. Very drought tolerant. It usually gets a little leggy by mid July. I just shear it within a couple of inches from the ground and fertilize and it comes right back and looks great till frost. This is a great trouble free plant and it's also culinary.

I had that once in another yard. Loved it, didn't realize it was also culinary.

How fast does grow? I'm looking for drought tolerant groundcovers.

Mine spread pretty fast, was out by the street and seldom got watered except for rains.
