Planting Oregano loves the sun, so ensure that your placement has full sun for strong flavor. Offer partial shade if growing in hot climates. Plant anytime in the spring, once you?re well past the chance of frost. Some folks plant later in the season for assured warm weather. The soil should be around 70ºF. For a head start, plant the seeds/cuttings 6 to 10 weeks before the last spring frost. (See local frost dates.) Oregano can easily be started from seeds, though you can also use cuttings from an established plant. Before planting, mix in several inches of organic matter, such as compost. If you?re growing in containers, use a quality potting mix. Plant 8 to 10 inches apart. The plants will grow 1 to 2 feet tall and spread about 18 inches. Growing Allow oregano plants to grow to about 4 inches tall and then pinch or trim lightly to encourage a denser and bushier plant. Regular trimming will not only cause the plant to branch again, but also avoid legginess. Oregano doesn?t need quite as much water as most herbs. As the amount of watering depends on many variables, just water when the soil feels dry to the touch. Remember that it?s better to water thoroughly and less often. If you have a container, water until the water comes out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the container. At the end of the season, you can move pots indoors for the winter; cut dead stems in the spring before new growth. In warmer climates, protect plants with mulch. To ensure the best-quality plants, thin out plants that are 3 or 4 years old in the early spring. Oregano is self-seeding, so the plants will easily grow back. You can divide the plants in late spring if you want to put one indoors. 1st class mail is used so there is no tracking.
