Greek Oregano

Treat yourself to fresh herbs right from your garden! The difference when home grown is impressive! All are excellent for adding distinctive flavor to meat, and fish dishes, gravies, soups, salads and vegetables. They are fun to grow and make an attractive garden addition! With a stronger, more aromatic flavor and scent than regular oregano, it is one of the most important herbs of Italian, Greek and Mexican cooking. The flavor stands up to bold flavors like tomatoes, onion, garlic and beef. Greek oregano is a bushy perennial with bright deep purple-brown stems and 4cm broadly ovate leaves that often have a red flush. Branched clusters of purple-pink flowers appear all summer. It grows to 45cm tall and wide and takes 60 to 80 days to reach maturity.
