Growing Tips
Plant in a full sun position with well-drained soil. Greek oregano thrives in drier conditions and performs best in free-draining soils or pots.
Water moderately and allow soil to dry slightly between watering. Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth and improves flavour intensity.
Trim back after flowering to maintain a compact shape.
