Plant Identification

I recently went to part and uprooted a really young, healthy herb. I was thinking about turning it into a bonsai. But I don't know the name. It kinda smells like Oregano, and the leaves are thick and really fuzzy. More fuzzy then an African Viloet. The small white hairs come up about 1-2mm of the leaves. If anyone can tell the name of this plant it would be very helpful. I don't want it to die because it likes lots and lots of water, or something of the like.

Cuban Oregano

I believe that your plant is a Cuban Oregano. They seem to like partial/full sun(if it is hot outside, only partial sun) A LOT of water and moderately warm temperatures. (Mine began to wilt during the hottest part of the summer here, since I kept it outside.) They are pretty hardy little plants, but they do not develop a woody trunk, so it would be best kept as an accent plant or a houseplant. Good luck!

The park I got this thing from also had Cuban Oregano, and ALL of it was dead. The leaves of the plant that had the Cuban Oregno tag had yellowish fuzzy leaves. But this little plant was in a pot with it's mom and dad. And its mom and dad had the color of leaves. So I don't know.
