The Greek Oregano

Low growing and full of flavor, The Greek Oregano (Oregano vulgare 'TheGreek') is THE choice for your herb garden this year! Not just any oregano, The Greek is a fantastic spreading mat of aromatic bright green foliage, pink blossoms and many culinary uses in the kitchen and herb pantry!

Bright green textured leaves with adorable fuzzy surfaces fills your garden with dense clusters of aromatic foliage from spring until frost. Late summer brings a flush of pink blossoms that smother the plant and call pollinators and butterflies to your landscape!

The Greek Oregano is an herb garden staple and is ideal for container gardening as a filler and spiller, or creeping along garden edges as a border plant, or winding through beds at will, and it will ramble if you let it! Use the scented leaves as a groundcover that’s low maintenance and winter hardy!

Planting and Application:

Greek Oregano is as flavorful as it is beautiful! A traditional Greek herb, it’s also well used in Italian recipes as well! Season soups, salads and savory dishes, as a garnish for dishes and drinks! Even the blossoms are edible can be used to add color and flavor to your meals! When fall is approaching and threatening to kill these herbaceous perennials, simply snip off what you need and dry them!

Oregano is a double-duty spiller and filler in pots and planters! Tuck into mixed plantings and herb gardens, on porches and patios, even balconies and windowsill gardens. In fact, their rambling nature does best in a container so they can’t jump borders. Not aggressive by any means, they are just as happy in vegetable and herb beds, as edging in Perennial and Cottage borders, and are fantastic bee fodder in the Pollinator garden!
