Thin Leaf Oregano (Origanum vulgare)

• True Culinary Oregano: The classic thin-leaf type used in Italian, Greek, and Mexican cooking - not the thick-leaved Cuban or broadleaf oregano.

• Bold, Savory Flavor: Small gray-green leaves carry a sharp, peppery punch that concentrates even further when dried.

• Low, Spreading Habit: Forms a dense 12-18 inch mound that creeps outward and takes regular cutting without complaint.

• Hardy Perennial: Comes back year after year in Florida and stays productive straight through mild winters.

• Easy Container Herb: Thrives in pots, raised beds, and herb gardens, and is drought tolerant once established.

• Sun & Soil: Needs full sun and sharply drained soil; shade and heavy watering dull the flavor.

Key Features

True thin-leaf culinary oregano with strong peppery flavor, a low spreading habit, and perennial performance in Florida gardens.

Special considerations

Flavor fades in rich soil, shade, or overwatered conditions. The plant creeps outward over time, so give it room in a bed or grow it in a container.

Growing and Care Instructions

Oregano wants full sun and sharply drained soil, and it rots in wet feet. Harvest often and shear the plant back after it flowers to keep growth tender and flavorful. Divide the clump every few years to keep it vigorous.

  • Fertilizing

    Feed sparingly - one or two light balanced feedings per season; heavy fertilizer weakens the flavor.

  • Watering

    Water deeply but infrequently; let the top 1-2 inches of soil dry out between waterings.

  • Light Requirements

    Full sun (6+ hours daily) for the strongest flavor.

Healthy, full, and worth recommending

I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.

The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.

I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.

Thank you so much!
