Variety History

Greek oregano is the culinary standard -- sharper and more intense than Italian oregano. This plant is already established in Bed C.

Regional Context

Oregano is fully hardy on Bainbridge and goes semi-dormant in winter but survives. Cut back by 1/3 in spring to remove dead woody stems and encourage fresh growth.

Growing Technique

Spring cleanup: cut back by 1/3 to remove dead woody stems. Top-dress with compost. Harvest year-round. Flavor is best just before flowers open.
