Oregano (Origanum vulgare)

A hardy perennial culinary herb with a warm, aromatic flavour essential to Mediterranean and home-style cooking. Leaves can be harvested fresh throughout the season or dried for winter use. Flowers are attractive to pollinators and add beauty to the herb garden.

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost, or direct sow after danger of frost has passed. Oregano prefers full sun and well-drained soil, and tolerates dry conditions once established. Trim regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent legginess. Bottom heat can speed up germination but is not required. Hardy in colder climates and reliable year after year.

At least 50 seeds per packet.
