Flavorful herb with spicy flavor. Plant spacing 12 inches. Days to germination 8-10. For best results start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before planting outdoors, as oregano requires a long growing season. In warm areas may be seeded directly outdoors.
Harvest leaves continually to keep plants compact and productive.
Dry leaves in a warm, airy place. When dry, pulverize and store in airtight containers. Essential for Italian coking. It smells like pizza. Leaves are used green or dried for tomato sauces, fish, salad dressings, pizza, meats, sphagetti, peppers, and egg dishes.
