Originally from the Greek hillside, oregano now grows all over the world. Pungent, spicy, and slightly bitter, oregano is a must-have herb for any home container garden because it goes well with nearly any veggie dish. As a low-maintenance herb, it’s ideal for beginner gardeners – whether they’re planting in pots on the balcony or directly in their garden.

Oregano needs a ground temperature of at least 70 degrees to thrive. Whether you’re planting seeds or maintaining a plant you bought at the store, cultivated oregano will come back every year.

Once your oregano growing in containers reaches about eight inches in height, you can start pruning and harvesting. You can cut back up to ⅔ of the plant for use fresh or dry in food.
