How to Grow Italian Oregano

Oregano is easy to grow and does well in gardens and containers. When planted in a garden, Italian oregano can serve as an attractive border plant as it spreads and roots along the stems. Its leaves or stems can be harvested at any point during the growing season, with the most intense flavor occurring just before the plant flowers. To prevent flower formation, regularly trim the plants.

Plant this culinary herb in full sun with well-draining soil for best results. Italian oregano is also a hardy plant that can survive in colder temperatures, making it a great option for year-round cultivation. It grows as a perennial plant in hardiness zones 5 through 9b but can also grow as an indoor plant or kitchen herb in cooler zones. When growing this herb indoors, be sure to give it plenty of light.

Overall, growing and using Italian oregano is a rewarding experience that adds flavor and health benefits to any kitchen.
