05 Feb 19, Sandra (Australia - temperate climate): Maybe a bit of a silly question- but are the western suburbs of Sydney considered temperate ? Thank you

05 Feb 19, Mike (Australia - sub-tropical climate): It suggests you are sub tropical - I would say probably more sub tropical than temperate. You can have very hot summers - hotter than us - sub tropical (Bundaberg).. Winters here are generally 10 - 4-5 min and 20-25 max. Work around these figures.

08 Mar 21, Marguerite (South Africa - Dry summer sub-tropical climate): I propagated Oreganum from store bought. Here in Gordon's Bay it has flourished as a ground cover during winter and dry summer (I did have to water when they looked wilted for more than two days though). No flowers, so I'll see what the winter rains do this year. We have hydrophobic sand so it served well as a ground cover really vigorous growth, with sun until about 3pm.
