Oregano is easy to grow and does well in gardens and containers. When planted in a garden, Italian oregano can serve as an attractive border plant as it spreads and roots along the stems. Its leaves or stems can be harvested at any point during the growing season, with the most intense flavor occurring just before the plant flowers. To prevent flower formation, regularly trim the plants.

When growing this herb indoors, be sure to give it plenty of light.
