Origanum vulgare ‘Greek’ — Greek Oregano

Description

Greek Oregano is a fragrant herb with bold flavor. Its small green leaves are great in sauces, meat, vegetables, and salads.

This hardy herb forms a low, bushy mound. Small white flowers may draw bees in summer.

Sun and Soil

Give Greek Oregano full sun. Use loose soil that drains fast. For a bright leaf form, see Variegated Oregano.

Water and Care

Water new plants as roots grow. Once set, let the soil dry a bit between drinks. For another sun-loving herb, try Winter Thyme.

Harvest and Use

Cut fresh stems as needed. Trim often to keep the plant full. Dry extra leaves for later use. Berggarten Sage is another useful herb for a sunny kitchen garden.
