Growing Instructions

How to Germinate Oregano Common Italian (Origanum vulgare)
  • Sow Oregano seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date, or directly outdoors in late spring after the danger of frost has passed.
  • Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface and press them down lightly; do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
  • Use a well-draining soil mix and maintain a soil temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination, which typically takes 7-14 days.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, but avoid overwatering.
  • Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors, spacing them 12-18 inches apart.

Additional Tips
  • Oregano thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining, slightly alkaline soil.
  • Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering, as oregano is drought-tolerant once established.
  • Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and prevent weeds.
  • Prune plants regularly to promote bushier growth and to prevent them from becoming leggy.
  • Harvest leaves as needed, preferably in the morning for the best flavor and aroma, before the plant flowers.
