Origanum dictamnus is a
great rock garden plant. I have had some difficulty growing Crete
Dittany in heavier soils but in well drained sunny locations it does
great. The Origanum dictamnus leaves can be used in salads and are used to flavor
Vermouth. The flower heads can be used in an herbal tea.
Origanum dictamnus is
supposed to be good for the stomach, but not too bad as just tea.
My
plants have gotten about 8-10" tall. Origanum dictamnus will spread and trail
nicely. Crete Dittany can withstand full sun on reflective rocks.
