Description
Oregano is a savory herb of Mediterranean cuisine, essential on pizza and in tomato sauces. As a hardy perennial, it returns year after year and attracts many bees and butterflies with its flowers.
Care instructions
Plant oregano in full sun in lean, well‑drained soil— the leaner the site, the spicier the flavor. Water sparingly and avoid waterlogging. Harvest shoots just before and during flowering from June to September; a spring pruning keeps the plant compact.
