Description

Origanum is an aromatic, bushy, rhizomatous, woody-branched perennial, which grows to 35-40 cm in height. Flavorful leaves of the plant are commonly used, either fresh or dried, as culinary herbs for a variety of food dishes, particularly in tomato sauces used in Italian cuisine and pizza, but also in a number of additional applications including rice, soups, stews, dressings, vegetable dishes, egg dishes, dips and herbal vinegars

Plant

 Plant leaves are ovate, 1-4 cm long and 0.5-2.5 cm wide, oppositely arranged. The edges of the leaves are smooth or very shallowly toothed, and the leaf tips vary from pointed to blunt. The flowers are tiny, borne in many-flowered, short dense lateral or branch-end spikes. The flowers are white to purplish, 4-8 mm long, and have two lips

Maturity

Harvest starts from 35 days

Environment

Origanum will grow in full sun to part shade and prefers a good water supply, although it will tolerate dry conditions.

The best flavour and texture is obtained from providing rich, well-drained soil and a great deal of water.

Planting & Growing Instructions

Plant seeds ¼ to ½ inch under the soil in rows 30 cm apart. Thin the borage herb to at least 30 cm when the plants measure 10-15 cm tall. Regularly apply nutrients and plant protection.

Note

Used as seeds only and not for consumption.Seeds to be sown before expiry date

Make sure your seedling tray or pot (whichever you choose) has a drainage hole in it. If you choose a pot, a 5€ pot should be fine. You can either use well drained soil or make a combination of 1 part each of cocopeat, vermiculite and perlite.

While sowing seeds make sure the soil is damp and not wet. Water the seeds as the soil starts to dry. It should always be moist, but never wet or muddy. Do not water the seeds if the soil is already moist to the touch, as overwatering your plant can be just as harmful as underwatering.

Keep the seedling tray in bright filtered light to begin with. Slowly introduce the plant to morning sun and bring it back in before the afternoon sun sets in. In a weeks time you can put it in direct sunlight.
