Propagating by seed

From Mid Spring TO Early Summer

Oregano seed is very fine, so mix it with sand to make it easier to handle. Sow the seed in plug-trays from mid Spring indoors, or from early Summer outdoors. Oregano seeds need a temperature of around 15 deg. C to germinate, so some heat may be required.

 

Propagating by cuttings

From Late Spring TO Early Summer

Propagating oregano by cuttings is very easy -you can really just break a piece of and stick it in the soil, and chances are it will grow! The proper way is to take several cuttings 3"-4".Remove the leaves from the lower 2", and place the cuttings around the edge of a pot of compost. Water.

 

Planting

From Early Summer TO Mid Summer

Plant out seedlings when they are around 4" high. Plant into free-draining soil in sun, or partial sun
