Oregano

Brief Description

Oregano is a perennial herb with small, oval, slightly hairy leaves that grow densely on woody stems. The leaves are typically bright to dark green and emit a strong, aromatic fragrance when crushed. It often forms a bushy, low-growing mound.

Care Instructions

Oregano thrives in full sun (at least 6 hours daily) and well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and prefers soil on the drier side. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Prune regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent legginess. It can be grown in containers or directly in the garden.
