Hot & Spicy Oregano

Hot & Spicy Oregano

Origanum vulgare 'Hot & Spicy'

Hot & Spicy Oregano has a significantly more pungent and intense flavour than common culinary oregano, selected for its elevated essential oil content, making it the preferred choice for traditional Greek and Italian cooking where a bold, aromatic, spicy herb character is essential, while its mounding habit and pink summer flowers make it attractive in the kitchen garden.

  • Significantly more pungent than standard culinary oregano, elevated essential oil content delivers the intense flavour characteristic of traditional Mediterranean cooking
  • Pink flower clusters in summer attract pollinators; aromatic leaves can be harvested fresh or dried throughout the season
  • Deer resistant; drought tolerant once established in well-drained, sunny conditions
  • Mounding habit is tidy in kitchen gardens, herb borders, and containers
