Italian Oregano Herb Plants - Two Live Plants - 4 Inch Pots - Non-GMO - Mild Flavor

Italian Oregano, a milder variety of oregano, is commonly used in Italian and Mexican cuisine. As a staple in Italian cooking, it is a necessary addition to your herb garden. Italian Oregano can be used fresh or dried, and surprisingly, it is even more flavorful when dried compared to most other herbs. It is utilized for seasoning a wide range of dishes, from salad dressings and pizza to spaghetti sauce and pickled olives. This herb pairs well with sauces, meats, and fried vegetables.

Italian Oregano, along with Parsley and Basil, belongs to the Mint family and is an essential ingredient that distinguishes Italian cuisine from other flavorful and spicy dishes. The plant should be placed 20 inches apart in a sunny location with well-draining soil that is watered adequately on a weekly basis. While the plant can grow up to 18 inches tall, leaves can be harvested once the plant reaches about 6 inches in height. It is important to leave at least six leaves on the plant to ensure continued growth.

Harvesting the leaves promotes new growth and encourages the plant to form more branches and leaves, increasing its usefulness in your garden. In the fall, trim the plant back and cover it with leaves and grass clippings to protect it during the winter months. The plant will return in the spring, ready for another season of growth.

Our package includes two large live plants, each 4” to 8” tall, in 4” pots. These premium herb plants are non-GMO and free from neonicotinoids. Italian Oregano pairs well with a variety of dishes, from sauces to vegetables to marinades. While it can be used fresh with grilled meats, its best flavor is achieved after drying. Simply rinse off loose soil, lay the leaves flat in the sun, or hang in a bunch to dry for winter use.

With a season-long harvest, you can continuously snip off what you need, and the plant will continue to grow. Our plants have 10 times root development compared to others, allowing for a stronger start and easier transplanting.
