Fothergill's Oregano Greek Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Origanum vulgare, a traditional, hard-wearing hardy perennial that reliably returns year after year.
• Intensely Aromatic Foliage: Features small, dense green leaves packed with essential oils, delivering a much stronger and more pungent flavor than standard wild marjoram.
• Culinary Essential: Highly celebrated for its exceptional culinary versatility; the perfect flavor pairing for roast lamb, tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, and rustic cheese dishes.
• Compact Bushy Profile: Grows with a neat, low-spreading habit that makes it highly manageable and ideal for edging paths, filling herb spirals, or planting in mixed containers.
• Container Friendly: An excellent choice for low-maintenance indoor and outdoor growing; thrives perfectly in small pots on a sunny patio, balcony, or bright kitchen windowsill.
• Drought-Tolerant Variety: Once established, this Mediterranean native is highly resilient and handles hot, dry summer spells with ease, preferring well-drained conditions.

Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds indoors from late winter to spring on the surface of fine, well-drained seed compost; press lightly into the soil but do not cover as they require light to germinate.
• Transplant young seedlings into individual pots when large enough to handle, and gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions after the last frost.
• Position in full sun and water sparingly, allowing the compost or soil to dry out between waterings to concentrate the essential oils and intensify the flavor.
