$4.50
Unit price perOregano heracleoticum
Greek Oregano • Perennial culinary classic
Oregano heracleoticum, commonly known as Greek Oregano, is the most prized oregano for cooking, valued for its intense aroma and robust, peppery flavour. Native to the Mediterranean, this hardy perennial produces compact, silver‑green foliage and small white flowers in summer, thriving in warm, sunny garden positions.
Renowned as the traditional oregano used in Greek and Italian cuisine, this variety offers a stronger, more authentic flavour than common oregano. The leaves can be used fresh or dried, and many cooks find the flavour deepens even further once dried.
In the garden, Greek Oregano is easy to grow, drought tolerant once established, and well suited to herb beds, borders, and containers. Regular harvesting encourages bushy growth and prolonged productivity, making it a dependable and long‑lived addition to any kitchen garden.
