Mizshelli said:I planted Greek Oregano and it's kind of fuzzy. The leaves on the weird plant look exactly like the ones on the oregano, minus the fuzz.
Nope. I bought what the store labeled 'greek oregano' with velvety fuzzy leaves too. It isn't greek oregano. It is dittany of crete.
Oregano doesn't have velvety leaves. You grew regular oregano.
Dittany of Crete (Origanum dictamnus)
I should add that there seems to be enough confusion about this plant even here in the plant database pictures. You will see the dittany picture on the greek oregano page here too, along with a picture of non fuzzy leaf greek oregano. I think what happened is that some people call dittany greek oregano as a 'common' name. They obviously aren't the same plant but they are very closely related. Marjoram is pretty closely related to both of them too. Regardless, as said above, you didn't grow some mutant seed mix of the both of them since basil and oregano can't mix - and yeah, they especially can't osmosis mix the two seeds into one plant. What you grew looks like regular oregano.
