Oregano Seeds, Heirloom, NON GMO, Country Creek Acres

Oregano, also known as wild marjoram, is an aromatic, spicy Mediterranean herb sold as fresh sprigs or chopped dried leaves. This popular herb is used to season all types of savory dishes, especially tomato-based recipes. Aromatic, warm and slightly bitter.

Oregano largely varies in intensity: Good quality is so strong that it almost numbs the tongue, but the cultivars adapted to colder climate have often unsatisfactory flavor. It belongs to the Labiate family and bears attractive white to purplish flowers and showy bracts in summer. Oregano tends to be quite variable when grown from seed. Leaves are green to gray-green and may be hairy or smooth.

Seeds can be sown directly into garden when soil is warm, started in pots and transferred to the garden or grown indoors.
