Its pleasant fragrance comes from tiny glands throughout the plant that contain its essential oil. This has made it one of the most widely used herbs in Mediterranean cuisine.

How to Sow Oregano Seeds

Sow the seeds directly in a seed tray or in individual pots. Use a suitable seed-starting mix, scatter the seeds on the surface without covering them, and then moisten the substrate with a water spray. Do not let the surface dry out. Remember to pre-moisten the substrate beforehand.

Place the containers in a spot with a temperature around 20 °C, or outdoors if early spring temperatures are already between 10 and 15 °C. Avoid direct sunlight until the seedlings have at least a pair of true leaves, the ones that come after the cotyledons, but ensure they are in a very bright location. A clear plastic film can help maintain temperature and humidity and prevent pests, but be careful: if not aired daily, mould may appear.

Transplant the small seedlings into individual pots once they are large enough to handle, from summer through to autumn.
