Italian Oregano : Organic

I started with three 6" starter plants of Organic Italian Oregano from Earthe eco-friendly plants. I planted all three in their own medium-sized terra-cotta pots in full sun. Italian Oregano is much taller than traditional Oregano with smaller leaves and this will be my first year growing it. (right) This is my Italian Oregano plant right after transplant.

Growing Tips: Italian Oregano prefers full sun and grows to around 18" tall. Should be spaced 12" apart or grown in their own containers. Requires monthly fertilization. If tips of plant begin to droop, it needs more sunlight and water.

Harvesting: Can be harvesting right away, best before flowering.
