Oregano

A classic culinary herb with aromatic green leaves that develop a robust, savoury flavour when dried. Widely used in Italian cooking, oregano enhances egg dishes, soups, sauces, pork, stews, and many savoury recipes. Plants are easy to grow and provide a steady supply of flavourful foliage throughout the season.

Suitable Planting Locations:

Planting Tip:
