Mr Fothergills Herb Oregano Greek 1500 Seeds

Oregano -Greek

This is a Mediterranean favourite. It is a strong aromatic herb popular in Greek and Italian cooking. Perfect with lamb, tomato and cheese.

Sow and grow indoors for all year round crops. Sow 0.5cm deep, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C is ideal. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. For earlier outdoor crops, sow indoors March-May. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions, avoiding frosts, before planting out into warm, well-drained soil, 20cm apart, during May and June. Alternatively, plants can be grown on a light windowsill. Or sow outdoors April-May for ease, where they are to crop, 0.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, warm, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 20cm apart. Pick the fresh leaves and tender shoots as required. Oregano can also be dried and stores well.
