How to grow Oregano 'Mediterranean'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Mediterranean is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures. Ideally plant in sandy, clay and loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 8.0 as Mediterranean likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Mediterranean from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.12 inches (0.32 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 7°C / 45°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Mediterranean about 56 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Mediterranean

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Mediterranean is a hardy plant.
