Our heirloom oregano seeds (\u003cem\u003eOriganum vulgare\u003c\/em\u003e) grow into hardy, spreading perennials whose pungent, peppery leaves are the backbone of pizza, pasta, and Mediterranean dishes. Plant it once and you will have fresh oregano at your fingertips for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for cooks and low-maintenance gardeners. Oregano is tough, drought tolerant, and thrives in poor soil, so it is very forgiving for beginners, and as a perennial it returns each spring. It looks great trailing over a wall or the edge of a bed, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow \u0026amp; when to plant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOregano seeds are tiny, so scatter them on the surface and press them in gently rather than burying them, since they need light to germinate. Start them indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost, or sow directly once the soil warms. Seedlings usually appear in about 7 to 14 days. Grow oregano in full sun with soil that drains well, spacing plants about 8 to 12 inches apart.

Trim it regularly to keep it bushy and stop it turning woody, and pinch off flower buds if you want the most flavorful leaves. It comes back reliably each spring in most gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnip sprigs as needed once plants are established, and harvest most heavily just before the plants flower, when the flavor peaks. Oregano is one of the easiest herbs to dry, and many cooks find the dried leaves even more pungent than fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits \u0026amp; uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOregano is a Mediterranean kitchen staple. Sprinkle it over pizza and pasta, stir it into tomato sauces, marinades, and dressings, or rub it onto grilled meats and vegetables. When it flowers, the plant also draws bees and other pollinators to your garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy cooks reach for our oregano seed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur oregano seed is heirloom, non-GMO, and untreated, chosen for strong germination and packed fresh by a licensed seed dealer based in the USA.
