No Ordinary Oregano

These plants came quickly and in good order. I put them in the ground and they have really taken off. I expect them to do very well...thank you again for a fast, accurate and well done job GrowJoy! I will continue to do business with you because of the trust developed over the years.

Love our new Dittany of Crete plant!

Shipping to our home in Florida was fast and the Oregano-Dittany of Crete Herb Plant arrived in great condition. We transplanted it into a new pot and it is doing great! Thank you for the quick service! Hope to do business with you again.

Oregano-Dittany of Crete

Ordered it a year ago. It arrived healthy and grew nicely during the summer producing beautiful flowers. Unfortunately it did not survive a very harsh winter we had in the NorthEast. Perhaps I should have planted it in a pot and took it inside for the winter...

I haven't used this in cooking yet but it is a beautiful addition to my small herb garden and almost too pretty to pick! It has a lovely aroma too.
