Oregano, also called king mint, is a classic herb with a warm and full-bodied flavor that brings to mind sun-drenched landscapes and simple, warm meals. It has a slightly spicy and slightly peppery note that adds depth and character to food. Oregano is an essential part of many dishes and is often used both fresh and dried. The plant is hardy and easy to grow, and thrives best in sunny, dry locations. It blooms in soft purple shades and attracts bees and butterflies, making it a vibrant part of your garden. Growing oregano is about inviting warmth, flavor, and a sense of summer into your herb garden.
