My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Trying to Identify this Herb

12 years ago

Hi Everyone

I have just moved house and am trying to identify what I have in my garden. I have come across this plant which I think is probably some sort of Oregano / Marjoram. It has a strong smell which would indicate that, but the leaves seem thicker than I would expect. It has a purple flower! It is well established and good ground cover. Any help in identifying exactly what it might be would be appreciated!

Rudi
