Origanum hirtum, also known as Greek Oregano, is a hardy perennial herb prized for its exceptionally strong flavour and intense aroma. The small, dark green aromatic leaves are the traditional oregano used in Greek and Mediterranean cooking, adding a distinctive spicy character to pizzas, tomato sauces, grilled meats, vegetables and salads.
Easy to grow and highly reliable, Greek Oregano forms a compact, bushy plant with clusters of small white flowers that attract bees and other pollinating insects. It thrives in sunny, well-drained conditions and is ideal for herb gardens, containers, rockeries and dry Mediterranean-style planting where the leaves develop their strongest flavour.

● Hardy perennial returning year after year
● Flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects

● Kitchen gardens

● Do not cover seeds deeply, as Greek Oregano seeds need light to germinate successfully.
● Grow in poorer, well-drained soil rather than overly rich conditions, as lower fertility helps maintain a stronger flavour.
● Harvest stems just before flowering when essential oils and flavour are at their peak.
● Cut plants back after flowering to maintain a compact, bushy shape and encourage fresh growth.
● Allow some flowers to remain, as Greek Oregano is highly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects.
