Dittany of Crete is fairly easy to grow through most of the US and Europe. It's not hardy most places (i.e. doesn't last through the winter in the ground), but one can always grow it in a pot and take it in when it starts to get chilly. I was going to get some for my garden this year--there is an herb farm near me that sells plants--but I flaked out on driving out there in time. Try calling around to nurseries and herb farms in your area. If they don't have it, they will order it for you, though you will have to give them the proper latin name. If you do order it, make sure you aren't getting "gas plant," Dictamnus alba, which is often called Dittany. It's a cool plant (can burst into flame briefly when a match is held near because it produces large quantities of volatile oil), but real Dittany of Crete is Origanum dictamnus. Totally different plant. Apparently, it's very pretty, too, and looks great in hanging baskets. Many nurseries online have it, and it's cheap.
