PLANT: Oregano

A must have for the kitchen herb garden! Not only is it an essential ingredient in many Greek, Italian, and Spanish dishes, but it's flowers also attract beneficial insects.   Unlike most other herbs, oregano maintains it's strong flavour for months after harvest and drying.  Because oregano repels cabbage moths, it's an excellent companion for your brassicas (kale, cabbage, broccoli, etc).  Grows well in pots. Plant in a sunny, warm area. Perennial hardy to zone 5.
