Origanum vulgare 'Aureum' Creeping Golden Marjoram

Origanum vulgare aureum Creeping Golden Marjoram

		Looking much like other Origanum vulgare species, Creeping Golden Marjoram is different because it flowers only occasionally. Mowing helps to keep it flat and soft to walk on. A lovely chartreuse in spring and fall (first photo below) , Creeping Golden Marjoram takes on a greener hue during summer (second photo down).


	Creeping Golden Marjoram makes a tough and attractive ground cover and lawn substitute. In the picture above, the two Creeping Golden Marjorams (planted from our three inch pots) are about four months old and have already reached about eight inches in diameter. Pictured in the foreground is a small Salvia discolor. Creeping Golden Marjoram is often included in our 36 Pack Alternative Lawn Assortment along with Mounding Marjoram and Creeping Oregano for those in zones 6 and up.
