Oregano Seedling

Oregano Seedling

Common Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a versatile culinary and medicinal herb with a more subtle, earthy flavor than its Greek cousin. Used fresh or dried, it enhances pasta sauces, pizzas, and herbal infusions. This hardy, easy-to-grow herb also attracts pollinators and repels harmful insects — a must-have in any kitchen or pollinator garden.
