A robust perennial herb prized for its intense, savory flavor, which is significantly more pungent and peppery than common or Italian varieties. It is characterized by small, hairy green leaves and white flowers, typically growing as a low-spreading mat or mounding plant up to 18 inches tall.
Cultivation & Growing Tips
Sun & Soil: Thrives in full sun (6-8 hours daily) and well-drained, sandy soil with a neutral to alkaline pH (6.8–7.8).
Companion Planting: Greek oregano is an excellent companion plant for tomatoes, as its strong aroma can help deter pests while its flowers attract pollinators like bees.
