ORGANIC AND OPEN POLLINATED SEEDS

Origanum x majoricum

Italian Oregano, also known as Wild Marjoram, is a hardy perennial herb prized for its fragrant green leaves and subtle peppery aroma reminiscent of mint. Native to the Mediterranean, this compact, bushy herb grows 30-60 cm tall, making it perfect for kitchen gardens, pots, raised beds, or herb borders.

The aromatic leaves add bold, authentic flavour to pizzas, pastas, sauces, soups, salads, and herbal teas. True to its origins, Italian Oregano thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soil and tolerates sandy conditions. In India’s tropical monsoon climate, it performs best with full sun, moderate humidity, and protection from waterlogged soils during heavy rains. Regular harvesting encourages fresh growth, and once established, the plant is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it a reliable, flavourful addition for home chefs and herb enthusiasts.
