Perennial
Origanum
Greek Oregano is found in the mountains of Greece, very different from normal Oregano having a fiery aroma. An important flavouring in Mediterranean cooking in salad dressings, legumes and vegetables and included in strong flavoured dishes with chillies, onions and garlic. An excellent ground covering plant for sunny sites. A very aromatic plant that can be grown on a sunny windowsill.

Sow in pots or troughs in gentle heat, grow on a sunny windowsill with 5-6 hrs sunlight per day if possible. Many herb varieties can be grown on a windowsill, they are kept pruned by snipping as required for adding to salads, casseroles etc
