Common oregano is distinguished by its dark green leaves and delicate flowers in pinkish-purple hues, sometimes pale pink or white. The plant forms a compact bush with reddish stems, creating a beautiful texture in beds and borders. The leaves and flowers have a pungent and strong taste, perfect for enhancing Mediterranean dishes, especially those based on tomatoes, pasta, meats, and grilled vegetables. Dried, they develop even more flavor and keep for a long time.

Adapted to well-drained soils and sunny locations with good air circulation, oregano is easy to grow. Harvesting is done as needed throughout the season, and the plants are hardy, withstanding varying weather conditions.

Common Oregano is a must-have for any home gardener looking to enrich their green space with an aromatic, productive and versatile plant.
