Italian Oregano
Italian Oregano is a hardy perennial herb that produces an abundance of fragrant, light-green, rounded leaves. In early summer, it is topped with spikes of tiny white flowers. This easy-to-grow plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, forming an attractive, clumping mound of trailing branches. It is adaptable and can be planted at the edge of your herb garden, in the front of a border, or in a container. To encourage bushy growth, pinch it back before flowering begins. Italian Oregano is an essential plant for every herb garden or Mediterranean border, producing an abundance of fragrant foliage that can be used to flavor a great number of dishes. In climates with heavy summer rainfall, plant in very well-draining soil to maintain the best flavor and longevity of the plant. Don't be afraid to cut the plant back if it starts getting a little leggy.

How will my Perennials be shipped and delivered?
Timing matters when you are planting a successful garden. Your perennial will arrive in a one gallon nursery pot, and you can choose a delivery date that fits your region and schedule.

How do I know if I can grow a specific Perennial variety?
Choosing the right perennial does not have to be complicated. Start by making sure the plant’s hardiness zone matches your own so it can survive your climate. Then look at how much sunlight your planting area receives and choose a variety that fits those conditions. Each of our plant listings clearly shows whether a perennial prefers full sun, partial shade, or shade, so you can move forward with confidence and select a plant that will thrive in your garden.
