Clovers Garden Greek Oregano Herb Plants - Two Live Plants - Non-GMO - Aromatic and Flavorful

Greek Oregano, known as the true "wild oregano" from Greece, boasts a stronger and more aromatic flavor and scent compared to regular oregano. It is a key herb in Italian, Greek, and Mexican cuisine, able to complement robust ingredients like tomatoes, onions, garlic, and beef. Despite its flavorful profile, Greek Oregano was traditionally used for medicinal purposes until recent years. Medicinally, oregano tea is still utilized for indigestion, coughs, and menstrual aid, while the oil is effective for toothaches and can be found in cosmetic products.

When used in cooking, Greek Oregano enhances cheese and egg dishes like omelets, frittatas, and quiches. It can also be added to yeast breads, marinated vegetables, roasted meats and vegetables, as well as seafood dishes. It is worth noting that Greek Oregano has a robust flavor but does not hold up well to prolonged cooking, whether fresh or dried. For best results, harvest fresh leaves just before using them and add them to dishes right before serving to fully savor the herb's taste.

To grow Greek Oregano, place plants in a sunny location with well-draining soil and space them about 18 inches apart. Regular watering is essential, and the plants can reach a height of 2 feet if not contained or pruned regularly. Begin harvesting leaves when the plant is at least 8 inches tall. In colder climates, protect the plants during winter by covering them with leaves and grass clippings.
