The Greek Oregano is a hardy, perennial heirloom variety. This type is the spiciest and earliest producing oregano. It is a tender plant with tiny flowers and an abundance of fragrant leaves with a very true oregano flavor. This plant produces dark green leaves with white flowers, it starts out small, but grows to be a good sized bush (2 x 4 feet) and prefers well drained soil. This variety of oregano will winter over in mild areas of the north, if mulched properly, and works well as an ornamental. Best to plant indoors 4 - 6 weeks before transplanting outdoors in spring. Oregano can also be planted directly outdoors after the soil temperature reaches 70 degrees. Placing: Full Sun Planting Depth: 1/16-inch. Spacing: 15 - 18-inch. Maturity: 90 Days Plant Type: Perennial 10-percent of all seed sales will be donated to the State Farmers Market Association We feel it's very important to support local farms, farmers and their families.
