SAFLAX - Gift Set - Greek Oregano - 600 seeds - With gift box, card, label and potting substrate - Origanum vulgare… Vairāk

Worth knowing: The Greek Oregano infatuates not only during blossoming with its intense peppery flavour. The haircoat on the leaf surface that protects the leaves from drying out, is a clear sign of a dry and hot climate of the natural habitat of the plant. The hairy leaves count also for the light silvery-grey shine of the plant. Other than most species that develop pink blossoms, the Greek Oregano blooms with a white colouring. With a growth height between 30 and 70 cm, it can easily be cultivated in a tub, flower box or outdoors, while it is even in the northern hemisphere quite frost-hard. You can harvest Oregano throughout the year. Natural Location: The natural habitat of the Greek Oregano extends through Macedonia, Greece, Cypress and Turkey. Cultivation: Place: Like in its natural habitat, the Greek Oregano prefers a warm and full sunny place to spread its intense fragrance. Care: A dry and nutritious soil without waterlogging would be ideal for cultivation. For potted plants you can also use a quality mix of herbal earth. Water the plant sparsely and avoid waterlogging. During the winter: Late autumn is the best time for pruning back your plant. Basically, the Greek Oregano is even in northern regions frost-hard, but to be on the saver side, it is advisable to frost-protect the roots of your outdoor plant with a layer of foliage or mulch.
