Description
Origanum vulgare
Hardy perennial Mediterranean herb. Bees love it! 2' tall and wide.
Oregano makes a lovely edible landscaping plant as well as a delicious addition to meals. Keep it sheared for a formal look, or let it bloom to feed the bees! Open-pollinated.
Seeds grown by Bluebird Forest Garden in Orofino, Idaho, the Downtown Teaching Garden in Boise, Idaho and Twisp River Seed in Twisp, Washington.
150 seeds.
Directions: Start indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost and transplant after frost, once they have at least 4 true leaves. Gently press seeds into soil, as they require light to germinate. Or, direct seed after last frost. To ensure even distribution of tiny seeds, mix with sand and sprinkle over soil.
