Oregano Herb Seeds for Fresh & Dried Culinary Herbs
Oregano Herb Seeds grow into hardy, aromatic perennial plants with small green leaves and the bold savoury flavour associated with Mediterranean cooking. Oregano is an excellent herb for garden beds, raised beds and containers, providing leaves that can be harvested fresh or dried for later use.
The leaves have a robust, peppery and slightly earthy flavour that pairs particularly well with tomato, garlic and olive oil. Use Oregano in pizza, pasta sauces, roasted vegetables, marinades, soups, grilled dishes and Mediterranean-inspired recipes.
Oregano vs Marjoram
Oregano has a stronger, more robust and peppery flavour than its close relative Marjoram. If you prefer a softer, sweeter herb with delicate citrus and floral notes, see our Marjoram Herb Seeds.
Both herbs can be used fresh or dried, but Oregano is generally the better choice where a bold Mediterranean flavour is wanted.
Hardy Perennial for Repeat Harvests
Once established, Oregano develops into a compact, spreading clump that can remain productive for several years. Regular trimming encourages branching and produces fresh leafy growth for repeated harvesting.
Plants also develop small pink, mauve or white flowers as they mature. If culinary leaves are the priority, harvest regularly and trim spent flower stems to encourage fresh growth.
Ideal for Sunny, Well-Drained Gardens
Oregano performs best in a warm, sunny position with freely draining soil. Once established, it becomes relatively drought tolerant and generally prefers slightly drier conditions than moisture-loving herbs.
Allow approximately 20–30cm between plants. Mature plants generally reach around 30–60cm tall under suitable conditions.
Well Suited to Pots & Small Gardens
Oregano grows well in pots, balcony herb gardens and sunny spaces close to the kitchen. Choose a free-draining potting mix and avoid keeping established plants permanently wet.
Begin substantial harvesting from approximately 80–100 days after sowing, although light picking can begin earlier once plants are well established. Harvest young shoots as required or cut larger quantities shortly before flowering for drying and storage.
