Planting & Care

Sow Italian Oregano seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until seedlings emerge. Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.

Oregano thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first season to help plants establish, then reduce watering as they become more drought tolerant. Trim plants after flowering to encourage bushy growth and harvest leaves as needed throughout the season.
