Some Herbs may be too tall for our standard packaging and will be trimmed to fit. This will not be detrimental to the plant but will mean that these herbs will flower later in the year.
The Blister packs used to protect our beautiful herbs during transit are made from 100% recycled plastic and can be recycled kerbside.
Oregano 'Acorn Bank' is an extremely aromatic herb, with oval, pointed golden yellow leaves and a mound forming nature, it has pretty pink flowers in the summer. Native to the Mediterannean and Southern Europe, Oregano is closely related to marjoram. Growing 45-60cm tall and preferring light well-drained soil, Oregano prefers a sunny site and does not particularly enjoy prolonged wet winters, but its hardy nature means can remain evergreen through the winter months if the weather is particularly clement.
Oregano has a pungent flavour and features heavily in Mediterranean and Mexican food. It has a great affinity for a variety of foods, especially strong flavours like wine, olives and tomatoes, vegetables, stuffing and egg dishes. It is also characteristic of many Greek dishes (particularly lamb). Oregano's flavour is enhanced with drying and is often sprinkled liberally on pizzas.
Our potted Oregano 'Acorn Bank' herb plants are generally available to buy online between March and September.
