Oregano is an excellent herb for garden beds, raised beds and containers, providing leaves that can be harvested fresh or dried for later use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOregano vs Marjoram\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOregano has a stronger, more robust and peppery flavour than its close relative Marjoram.

Regular trimming encourages branching and produces fresh leafy growth for repeated harvesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlants 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal for Sunny, Well-Drained Gardens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOregano 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAllow approximately \u003cstrong\u003e20–30cm between plants\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Choose a free-draining potting mix and avoid keeping established plants permanently wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBegin substantial harvesting from approximately \u003cstrong\u003e80–100 days after sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e, although light picking can begin earlier once plants are well established.
