Description
Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a perennial culinary herb plant.While native to the Mediterranean and Eurasian regions of the world, Oregano is definitely at home in most temperate parts of the world. Can be grown in part shade and will overwinter in colder winter climates as long as freezes aren’t prolonged. Plants form small, dark green fuzzy leaves that grow both upright and crawl via their roots. Cutting back plants stalks after they start setting seed will encourage more leaf production in a single season. One plant is ideal for a home garden’s culinary needs.
