Hilltop Oregano

This variety of oregano is supposed to be really outstanding for culinary use. I was on the lookout for it after reading the Jan/Feb edition of Texas Gardener. They had a tribute article about Madalene Hill of Hilltop Herb farm, and the herbs that she particularly liked. I found these at Northhaven nursery yesterday. It is a hybrid of sweet marjoram and oregano, with the fragrance of the marjoram but the winter hardiness of oregano. Now I just got to get out in the cold and the mud to plant it!
