What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Oregano Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds produce a classic culinary herb known for bold flavor, easy growth, and long-lasting garden performance. This hardy perennial herb is a staple in home kitchens and herb gardens, offering aromatic leaves that can be used fresh or dried to season a wide range of dishes.

Commonly used in Italian, Spanish, and Mexican cuisines, oregano adds depth and richness to sauces, meats, vegetables, and marinades. Beyond its culinary value, oregano leaves are naturally rich in antioxidants and have a long history of use in traditional herbal practices, including essential oil production.

Oregano grows vigorously with minimal care, forming spreading plants that reach 2–3 feet tall. It performs well in garden beds, raised beds, and containers, and can also be used as a low-growing ground cover. Small flowers appear as the plant matures, attracting bees and butterflies and adding pollinator value to the garden.

Reliable Flavor with Easy Care:

  • Aromatic leaves for fresh or dried use
  • Classic herb for Mediterranean-style cooking
  • Vigorous growth with minimal maintenance
  • Suitable for containers, beds, and ground cover

Why Customers Love Oregano:

  • Easy-to-grow perennial herb
  • Essential seasoning for many cuisines
  • Leaves rich in antioxidants
  • Can be grown for culinary or traditional medicinal use
  • Attracts bees and butterflies when in bloom
  • Thrives in containers and small-space gardens

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow oregano seeds on the soil surface or lightly cover, as light supports germination. Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. Keep soil lightly moist during germination and establishment. Once mature, oregano is drought tolerant and benefits from regular trimming to encourage fresh growth. Harvest leaves as needed and dry excess for long-term storage.
