THIS IS A HEIRLOOM VARIETY AND HAS A VERY GOOD STRAIN CHARACTERISTICS

Oregano is a hardy perennial herb much loved by everyone. It is one of the easy to grow indoors and is one among the favorites list for city-dwellers to start with. If you have a windowsill or patio with 6 hours of full sun, it takes well to pot culture. Oregano is happy to grow on a windowsill in your kitchen or in a tiny plot of your garden. Little upside-down hanging bunches in your home are pretty and functional, and you can just trim a little off as you need it.

Fresh oregano is a great antibacterial agent. It has phytonutrients (thymol and carvacrol), which fight infections such as staph. It's loaded with antioxidants that help prevent cell damage, and it’s an excellent source of fiber, vitamin K, manganese, iron, vitamin E, tryptophan and calcium.

Dried oregano is also healthful (with similar benefits to fresh), but it needs to be handled carefully. Store it in a clean, dry, glass container.
