Oregano or wild marjoram (Origanum vulgare) in a P9 pot

Oregano, also known as wild marjoram, is a strong and aromatic culinary herb with small, dark green leaves and a warm, spicy flavor. It's essential in Mediterranean dishes, tomato sauces, pizzas, and herb mixes. Numerous pink to purple flowers appear in summer, attracting many bees and other beneficial insects.

The plant grows bushily and reaches a height of approximately 30–60 cm. Hardy and easy to care for, it's ideal for herb gardens, borders, or pots.

Plant in a sunny spot in well-drained, rather poor to moderately nutrient-rich soil. Water sparingly and prune in spring to keep the plant compact and vigorous. Regularly harvesting the leaves encourages new growth and an intense aroma.

Organic/non-organic
This planting material comes from a small-scale grower without an official organic certificate. But don't worry, we're certain it's pesticide-free.

Stronger plants, honest photos
Our plants are grown outdoors and are completely winter-hardy. They aren't young greenhouse plants, but stronger, perennials that have been growing for a while and therefore have a well-developed root system. By growing in wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations, they are better hardened, more robust, and adapt more quickly after planting than herbs grown in a warm greenhouse this year. Conservatory plants often look greener and fuller, but are younger and less resilient.

Because our plants follow the natural rhythm of the seasons, they can look bare or less attractive in winter. Many perennials die back (partially) above ground and store their energy underground. Sometimes the pot may seem empty, but don't worry: the strong roots are alive and will ensure the plant sprouts vigorously again in spring.

The photos show what the plants look like in winter, so you get a fair idea of ​​what you'll receive if you order in the spring.
