Oregano ORGANIC Herb Seeds.

Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a robust, aromatic herb cherished for its bold, earthy flavour and essential role in Mediterranean cuisine. This organic variety produces compact, bushy plants with small, fragrant green leaves that are perfect for seasoning pizzas, pasta sauces, grilled vegetables, and meat dishes. In summer, delicate clusters of tiny pink to purple flowers bloom, attracting bees and other beneficial pollinators.

 

Hardy and drought-tolerant, oregano thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it an excellent choice for herb gardens, containers, and rockeries. Regular trimming encourages bushy growth and prolongs the harvest season, ensuring a steady supply of flavourful leaves for fresh use or drying.

Sowing Instructions

 

Indoors: Start seeds indoors from February to May in small pots or trays filled with fine compost. Lightly press seeds into the surface without covering, as they need light to germinate. Keep at 18–21°C and ensure the soil remains moist. Transplant seedlings outdoors once the risk of frost has passed.

 

Outdoors: Direct sow from May to June in a sunny, well-drained spot. Sow seeds thinly in rows, lightly covering with soil. Keep moist until germination occurs. Thin seedlings as needed to allow space for growth.

 

This organic oregano is an essential kitchen herb, offering a rich and intense flavour perfect for enhancing your favourite dishes. A must-have for any herb garden!
