Planting & Care

Sow Greek 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; 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).

Once 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.
