140mm Native Oregano - Prostanthera rotundifolia

Prostranthera Native Oregano (aka. Round-leaf Mint Bush) is a type of native mint, used traditionally as a medicinal herb for treating headaches and colds. These days, it’s more common as a culinary herb and ornamental bush. A strongly aromatic herb, Native Oregano is a native substitute for common oregano. It’s less sweet in flavour with earthier tones and a slightly citric tang. Use it to add flavour in salads, savoury meat dishes, sauces, or steep in hot water to make a fragrant herbal tisane. Harvest by plucking the leaves and softer stems off the growing plant, or prune whole stalks at a time. Leaves may be used fresh, or chopped and dried for later use.
