Advice needed on growing ornamental oragano from seed.

I had a beautiful ornamenal oragano plant that made it throough several winters outside on my deck, potted. It didn't make it through this last winter, but I'd kept seeds from it, and started them indoors. They sprouted and got to be around 2/3 inches tall, then seemed to get some disease and poof! gone. Does anyone know this plant?

to much/not enough water or light. plants or roots to crowded. poor air circulation allowing growth of fungus & "damping off" are the most common causes.....

I grew ornamental oregano from seeds the Winter Sowing Method. The seeds germinated without any problem. I transplanted the seedlings in spring and they have been thriving ever since.

Please check out the Winter Sowing forum. It's really easy and fun to do. We have no problem with ventilation or damping off. No hardening is necesscary since the seeds are sown and left out in the cold all winter. The seeds germintae when the temperture is right.
