Oregano
🚚 Free UK shipping on orders over £50 🪴
Origanum vulgare, or oregano, is a fragrant perennial herb from the mint family, featuring aromatic oval leaves and delicate clusters of purple or pink flowers.
Native to the Mediterranean, this versatile herb enhances the flavours of many popular dishes. Beyond its culinary appeal, oregano offers natural medicinal benefits and supports your garden’s ecosystem by attracting beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies. Add this essential herb to your collection for both taste and environmental value.
Oregano is a hardy herb that grows best in well-drained soil under full sunlight. It demonstrates drought resistance after establishment and favours mildly alkaline soil conditions. Consistent watering during its early stages and periodic pruning to preserve its form contribute to optimal growth.
