Oregano (Origanum vulgare) 1g, ~12000 seeds

Description

Oregano(Origanum vulgare) is a wild Hungarian variety of the spice known as pitch grass, which is most commonly known as pitch grass or wild marjoram. It has a less intense flavour than the Mediterranean variety used in Bolognese sauce, but it can be used as a spice and herb. It's also one of our most attractive wild flowers for pollinators, visited by a cavalcade of solitary bees, bumblebees and butterflies for nectar.

Sow the seeds in spring or autumn in prepared soil or pots. You can sow the seeds directly in their permanent location or grow seedlings to increase the germination rate. Do not cover the seeds with soil, they germinate in the light. Water them. Keep the soil moist for the first 1-2 weeks. Perennial through spring sowing will not flower until the following year (rarely late summer), and autumn sowing the following year. Enjoy the spectacle!
