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.
