Origanum heracleoticum – Greek Oregano
A classic perennial culinary herb, Greek Oregano is prized for its bold, spicy flavor — notably stronger than common oregano varieties. Use the leaves fresh or dried for seasoning in a wide range of dishes. Unlike many herbs, it doesn't grow true from seed, making nursery-grown plants the reliable choice. Drought tolerant and deer resistant, it's a low-maintenance addition to the herb garden, and its white blooms attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. It also makes a lovely cut flower.
