Oregano Seeds (Origanum vulgare) – The Herb of Flavor and Wellness

Oregano, scientifically known as Origanum vulgare, is a perennial herb treasured for its robust, peppery flavor and remarkable medicinal properties. Known as the “wild marjoram,” this aromatic plant is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and a valuable addition to any herb garden. With its low-maintenance growth and delightful fragrance, oregano is perfect for culinary, ornamental, and medicinal purposes.

Why Grow Oregano?

1. Culinary Excellence:
• A key ingredient in Italian, Greek, and Mediterranean dishes, oregano adds depth to pizzas, pasta sauces, roasted vegetables, and marinades.
• Its bold, earthy flavor enhances both fresh and dried recipes, making it an essential kitchen herb.
2. Medicinal Benefits:
• Packed with antioxidants and antimicrobial properties, oregano supports immune health.
• Traditionally used to ease respiratory issues, improve digestion, and combat inflammation.
3. Ornamental Appeal:
• Oregano’s sprawling habit and small, lavender-pink flowers add charm to garden borders, containers, and rock gardens.
• Its aromatic foliage is a natural deterrent to pests.
4. Pollinator-Friendly:
• The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, promoting a healthy garden ecosystem.

Plant Characteristics

Growth Habit: A low-growing perennial herb reaching 20–50 cm in height with a spreading, bushy habit.
Foliage: Small, oval, dark green leaves that emit a strong, earthy aroma.
Flowers: Tiny, clustered flowers in shades of lavender, pink, or white bloom in summer.
Resilience: Drought-tolerant and hardy, oregano thrives in various climates and soil types.

Growing Oregano from Seeds

1. Seed Sowing:
• Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly in the garden in late spring.
• Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface without covering them, as they require light to germinate.
2. Germination:
• Seeds germinate within 7–14 days at temperatures between 18–22°C.
3. Ideal Conditions:
Light: Prefers full sun for optimal growth and flavor development.
Soil: Thrives in well-draining, slightly sandy soil with a neutral to alkaline pH.
4. Plant Spacing:
• Space plants 20–30 cm apart to allow for airflow and spreading growth.

Care and Maintenance

Watering: Water sparingly; oregano thrives in dry conditions and does not tolerate waterlogged soil.
Pruning: Trim plants regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent woody stems.
Harvesting:
• Pick fresh leaves as needed, or harvest stems before flowering for the best flavor.
• For drying, cut stems in the morning and hang them in a cool, dry place.
