Here is a place to get the Mex oregano that I grow.  (there are more than one)  They can be a dickens to start from seed and need light to germinate.  They will do nicely in a 3-5 gal pot and will overwinter in a south window.  I took cuttings from my overwintered plant and they rooted easily & are growing well.  Only have two left but would be willing to send you one.
