Origanum vulgare, commonly known as Oregano, is a hardy, aromatic herb widely used in cooking, especially in Mediterranean cuisine. Its small, flavourful leaves add depth to a variety of dishes, making it a staple in herb gardens.
This low-growing, spreading plant is easy to maintain and thrives in sunny conditions. It produces small flowers during the growing season, which attract bees and other beneficial insects. Oregano is drought-tolerant once established and works well in garden beds, borders, or containers.
