Oregano True Greek Heirloom
Origanum heracleoticum
Perennial. Hardy in USDA zones 4 - 9. This is the true culinary Greek Oregano that is prized by Italian chefs. Aromatic, flavorful, and more pungent than Common Oregano, it can really jazz up many dishes. The flavor creates a wonderful synergy with tomatoes (fresh or sauce), pizza, egg/cheese combinations (omelets, quiches), marinated vegetables, meats, and of course many Italian foods and sauces. It combines well with thyme, garlic, parsley, and olive oil. Also a good container variety.
Full Sun
Spread: 24" tall and wide
Days to Emerge: 5 - 10 days
Seed Depth: Press into surface
Seed Spacing: A pinch of seeds every 20"
Row Spacing: 2'
Thinning: When 2" - 3" tall, thin to 1 every 20"
When to sow outside: 2 to 4 weeks after average last frost, and as late as 2 months before first fall frost.
When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. 6 to 8 weeks before average last frost.
Harvesting: Cut branches when needed after the plant is at least 6" tall. Some oregano experts claim the best flavor comes just before plant flowers. Pruning off the branches also encourages fullness and fresh, new growth on the plant.
