Extra tips or info: oregano loves warmer weather, and prefers slightly drier soil. It's great in cooking, particularly Italian dishes like pasta, pizza, meat dishes and more. It's a great addition to kitchen gardens, shadier patio or balcony gardens, or in your garden bed.
For the 2021 growing season.
