Organic Greek Oregano Seeds

This variety is the truest type of culinary Oregano and is used in many forms of Greek and Italian cooking. The little sprigs can be cut as soon as the plant reaches six inches tall. The flowers are white and bloom all summer. Approx. 500 seeds. Non-GMO

Sowing: Start the seeds indoors about 2 months before the last spring frost, sowing them just below the surface of the soil and keeping the temperature at 65-70 degrees F. Provide at least six hours of sunlight, and keep the soil moist when the seedlings appear. Transplant them as soon as they grow big enough to handle or after the last chance of frost, spacing them 12-15" apart. Oregano thrives in fairly dry soil and full sun. To direct sow, plant seeds and thin the seedlings to 12-15" apart. As a companion plant, Greek oregano repels the harmful cabbage butterfly. This herb also grows well as a container plant.

Growing: Greek oregano actually has the most flavorful taste if left alone, with minimal watering and no fertilization. For the best tasting leaves, keep the tops pruned to prevent flowering and to keep the leaves tender.
