Basil is pretty hard to grow here, but oregano is truly a weed.
I think it's great to have nice scented foliage in the mix.
My mother grows ornamental oregano "Herrnhausen". Good as a spice, but when it blooms, Oh Boy! It's gorgeous. It has a trailing habit, so would be good for hanging baskets. I never tried the flowers in a bouquet; maybe someone has experience with this? Do they last?
