Origanum vulgare is an aromatic perennial with branching stems that become woody towards the base. Origanum vulgare has purple flowers.
Flowers and foliage
Its leaves and clustered flowers distinguish the plant from a short-lived annual herb. Sunny, drained conditions suit its relatively dry-soil character. It is botanically distinct from sweet marjoram, Origanum majorana, despite overlapping common names.
