Oregano seeds — the bold flavour of the Mediterranean

Oregano is the warm, peppery herb at the heart of Italian and Greek cooking — essential on pizza and in tomato sauces, and a magnet for bees when it flowers. The species is gathered under Origanum vulgare within our culinary herb range, alongside its sweeter cousin marjoram. New to herbs? Our herb growing guide covers the basics.

Oregano is easy from a spring sowing — the herb calendar shows when.

Oregano and marjoram

Greek oregano has the boldest, most pungent flavour; sweet marjoram is milder and more fragrant. A hardy perennial, oregano sits among our perennial and aromatic herbs, and its summer flowers are excellent for pollinators.

Growing oregano from seed

Sow on the surface in spring in warmth, then grow on in full sun and well-drained soil — like most Mediterranean herbs it prefers it lean rather than rich. Pick regularly, and the flavour intensifies in a sunny, dry spot.
