Its fruity acidity, a slightly bitter roasted note, and its warm, sweet spiciness are unmistakable. It harmonizes equally well with fruity vegetables, roasted meat and fish, as well as with tangy treats like olives, mozzarella, and feta cheese. This makes oregano the pizza herb par excellence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row_wYpjh row-wrap tb_content_fixed tb_mb_40\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"row tb_gut_xs_30 tb_gut_sm_30 tb_gut_md_40 tb_gut_lg_40\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_Mg03Z col col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-align-default col-valign-top tb_pt_0 tb_pr_0 tb_pb_0 tb_pl_0\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"tb_wt tb_wt_product_attributes_system display-block tb_system_product_attributes\" id=\"ProductAttributesSystem_EmM183u6\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-heading tb_mb_30\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"panel-title\"\u003eProperties\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-body tb_product_attributes\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"table\"\u003e\n\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003ePlant information\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"hide-mobile\" width=\"30%\"\u003eHarvest time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eyear-round\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"hide-mobile\" width=\"30%\"\u003eNutrient requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003elow feeder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"hide-mobile\" width=\"30%\"\u003eBotanical name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eOriganum hirtum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"hide-mobile\" width=\"30%\"\u003eGrowth height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e25-30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"hide-mobile\" width=\"30%\"\u003eLife cycle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eperennial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"hide-mobile\" width=\"30%\"\u003eColor palette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd class=\"hide-mobile\" width=\"30%\"\u003eUsage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eCulinary herb for seasoning dishes.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_U7s7O col col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-align-default col-valign-top tb_pt_0 tb_pr_0 tb_pb_0 tb_pl_0\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"tb_wt tb_wt_product_reviews_system tb_mb_40 tb_pt_10 tb_pr_10 tb_pb_10 tb_pl_10 display-block tb_system_product_reviews\" id=\"ProductReviewsSystem_PEkAX5BA\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"tb_wt tb_wt_product_reviews_system tb_mb_40 tb_pt_10 tb_pr_10 tb_pb_10 tb_pl_10 display-block tb_system_product_reviews\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"tb_wt tb_wt_product_field_system display-block tb_system_product_field_5\" id=\"ProductFieldSystem_ABuh0Qc6\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting instructions on the envelope\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOregano is perennial and prefers to grow in loose, humus-rich soil.

While oregano is used almost exclusively in Mediterranean countries like Italy, Spain, and Greece for dishes with tomatoes, casseroles, pasta sauces, meat, and fish, hobby chefs in our latitudes lag a bit behind in their use of this herb. Why, actually? \u003cstrong\u003eThe special aroma\u003c\/strong\u003e is what gives some dishes their sophistication. A lasagna or a pizza without oregano – also known as wild marjoram – is hard to imagine. And honestly: of course, these are not originally German dishes. But we eat them at least as often as the Italians themselves. Don't you?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlenty of light and little water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf your mouth is watering now, you'd better not waste any time. After reading these few lines, you will be able to pick and use \u003cstrong\u003ehome-grown oregano\u003c\/strong\u003e yourself in just a few months. Or dry it. The herb retains its great taste even then. But one thing at a time. First, pre-cultivation begins around the end of January or early February. To do this, place the oregano seeds on moistened soil in a pot and press them down slightly. Do not cover with soil, as \u003cstrong\u003eoregano is a light-dependent germinator that does not grow without daylight.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse a soil that is loose and does not compact as a substrate. Regular garden soil is fine. Loosen the soil further with sand or small pebbles; clay powder helps the soil retain watering. However, waterlogging must be avoided. After less than a week, you should have the first seedlings, and they will continue to grow quite quickly. During the entire cultivation phase, i.e., until harvest, oregano only needs moderately moist soil. \u003cstrong\u003eYou should only water again once the top layer of soil has become dry\u003c\/strong\u003e. Oregano is accustomed to periods of low rainfall from its original home in the Mediterranean region. But it is also accustomed to plenty of sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOff into the bed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvest time – and then?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is advisable to harvest the oregano when it is in bloom, i.e., from about July to September. You can use the herb \u003cstrong\u003efresh, dried, or frozen\u003c\/strong\u003e. In all cases, washing beforehand is required. It is best to pick the stalk and leaves completely. To get them ready for next year, you should cut them back completely immediately after harvesting, down to two or three centimeters above the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs for overwintering, we have already mentioned that oregano is frost-resistant. However, it does not hurt the plants in the bed if you mulch them, i.e., pile up organic material around them. Brushwood, leaves, bark mulch, or sawdust are best suited for this. If you have grown the oregano in a pot, it is a good idea to bring the containers inside over the winter. The limited volume of pot soil also means a limited amount of nutrients, which are usually completely consumed by the plant's growth. So, bring the pots into the house and fertilize the soil a bit. Otherwise, have fun with this versatile food enhancer!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nWhen the first truly warming rays of sunshine arrive in April and the seedlings are five to ten centimeters high, oregano loves for you to prick it out, i.e., transplant it into individual pots. Place the pots in the sun for a few hours at midday. After all, the oregano needs to get used to the outdoors. \u003cstrong\u003eIt is actually hardy – but not as a seedling.\u003c\/strong\u003e You can let the herb overwinter outside in the bed without worry in the coming cold seasons. Speaking of the bed: that's where it goes when it is permanently warm, i.e., in May. Furthermore, the young plants are now robust enough to survive even if it gets colder again. Otherwise, it goes without saying that this culinary herb loves it warm. It does come from southern climes, after all. When transplanting into the bed, you only need to ensure that the spacing between the rampant plants is around 25 centimeters; if there is room, even more is fine. The oregano is already used to the garden soil from the pot. If you absolutely do not want to transplant it: \u003cstrong\u003estay calm and leave it in the pot.\u003c\/strong\u003e While it will never reach its maximum size of up to half a meter there, it will still bear plenty of leaves.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Die Stadtgärtner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39411355549890,"sku":"BH4260337030316","price":2.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/8387\/5266\/products\/SGoreganoKleinerQ-1000x1000.jpg?v=1616853933","url":"https:\/\/blaesshuhn-konstanz.de\/en\/products\/saatgut-oregano","provider":"Blässhuhn Konstanz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
