How to grow Oregano 'Golden'

  • Full Sun

  • Low

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Golden is generally regarded as a hardy plant, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures. Golden needs a sandy, clay and loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 8.0 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Golden 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). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 7°C / 45°F.

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

Transplanting Golden

Golden is hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

Harvesting Golden

This is too mild in flavor to be a good culinary variety.
