Hi, I picked up this beautiful oregano with purplish leaves at the tip of each branch, and then almost killed it. I think it's coming back, and I've decided to propagate a cutting. But, I didn't have tab when I bought it and I can't find another oregano plant like this. What is it?

Looks like origanum vulgare perhaps. With lots of sun it takes on a purple tone. https://www.google.com/search?...)

It looks like t may come back (fingers crossed). I have attempted to propagate the cutting from above, but can I do that with only one cutting? The YouTube video I watched planted several cuttings in the same pot.

There very hardy and die back to the ground with frost. They can take -25F. They propagate very easily. Greek Oregano (Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum)
