Origanum - Oregano

Oregano is a hardy, aromatic herb beloved for its bold flavor, lush green foliage, and wide-ranging uses in the kitchen and garden. Native to the Mediterranean, oregano thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for herb gardens, borders, and container plantings. Its small, oval leaves are packed with essential oils that release a savory scent when brushed, and in summer, it produces delicate pink or purple flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Whether used fresh or dried, oregano brings rich, earthy depth to dishes like pasta sauces, grilled meats, and roasted vegetables.

Beyond its culinary appeal, oregano is also a valuable companion plant, helping deter pests from tomatoes, peppers, and other vegetables with its strong fragrance. Its drought-tolerant nature and spreading growth habit make it a resilient, low-maintenance ground cover for sunny areas. Perfect for pollinator gardens, edible landscapes, or even ornamental borders, oregano is as functional as it is flavorful. Plant oregano today and enjoy a garden that delights your senses, feeds your family, and supports a healthy ecosystem!
