One of the main problems facing any gardener is the choice of location for each plant. It would be so easy if you could plant them by color, purpose, or active ingredients and nurture them together that way. But it doesn’t work like that. Each plant has its own care routine and you can only group them according to that (if you wish).
This means that if you want to plant even in groups, the ideal way to group them is according to their care.
The sun can be bad for some plants and good for others. An example of this is oregano† There are several varieties of oregano, some of them are; Syrian oregano, golden oregano, Greek oregano, Italian oregano, Cuban oregano, Mexican oregano, all of these types of oregano can be planted and grow well in the sun except one.
This is golden oregano, golden oregano is best planted in a shady area.
