Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 7-14 days at 70°F (21°C).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to a sunny location with well-drained soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants become drought-tolerant. Trim plants to encourage bushy growth and harvest leaves as needed. In colder zones, grow oregano in containers and bring indoors for winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2000 Greek Oregano seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835985559862,"sku":"FOLIA2-1550","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6515993820_bpp6.jpg?v=1793096905","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/greek-oregano-seeds-aromatic-culinary-herb-2000-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
