Greek oregano (Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum) is a compact plant, 30-70 cm high and 20-45 cm in diameter, with pointed, pubescent, green leaves (sometimes with thin purple veins).
This variety of oregano is easy to grow from seeds: it is recommended to sow seeds for seedlings from late winter to mid-spring. Sprinkle the seeds lightly on the surface of the pre-moistened soil, and keep warm and moist until germination takes place in 3-14 days at +20+30°C. Keep the seedlings in a well-lit place, pick out in separate pots in the future. Do not flood, at any stage of growth!

Origanum heracleoticum L.
Greek oregano. Bot.: Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum.

Plant in large pots or in open ground at a distance of 25-30 cm.
Greek oregano likes breathable soil and full sun. It grows well in arid climates. Pinching the bush (for example, during frequent harvesting) promotes the growth of new shoots, increasing the bushiness of the bush, and therefore its yield.
These plants can be difficult to grow in areas with high temperatures and humidity or excessive rainfall in winter. Humidity can be tolerated by growing plants in raised beds or containers, placing them loosely so that air can circulate between them. And breathable soil, raised beds filled with loose soil with sand and compost will also help during rainy periods. Do not plant this plant in places where water can accumulate after rain. And, as with most herbs, planting in full sun will encourage greater accumulation of essential oils, and therefore full development of the aroma.
