Greek oregano is distinguished by its dark green leaves and reddish stems, which contrast beautifully with its white flowers. Forming a compact bush, it grows vigorously while maintaining a manageable size. Its pungent and strong flavor is perfect for enhancing tomato sauce dishes, grilled meats, fish, and vegetables. Unlike many herbs, its aroma becomes even more intense when dried, making it an ideal ingredient for use all year round.
This variety prefers well-drained soils and a sunny location with good air circulation. Harvesting of leaves and flowers can be done as needed throughout the season, ensuring a continuous production of fresh and powerful flavors.
Greek Oregano is an excellent option for home gardeners looking to enrich their garden with an aromatic, productive and tasty plant, capable of transforming meals into true Mediterranean experiences.
