Greek Oregano is a hardy perennial herb with small, aromatic, oval to slightly rounded leaves on upright stems. The leaves have a bold, pungent, earthy flavor with peppery and slightly bitter notes that are more intense than common oregano. It is excellent for seasoning Italian, Greek, and Mediterranean dishes including tomato sauces, pizzas, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, salads, and herb blends. This variety is a good choice for Utah because it is very drought-tolerant once established, thrives in our hot, dry summers and alkaline soils with excellent drainage and full sun, and remains productive for years. It's great for containers. Its strong flavor and low-maintenance nature make it an essential kitchen herb that provides abundant fresh or dried leaves throughout the growing season.
