Growing Basics
Oregano is a
perennial
in Minnesota.
Sunlight:
Full sun (6+ hours daily).
Soil:
Well-drained, sandy or loamy soil.
Transplanting:
Plant at the same depth as in the pot.
Watering:
Allow soil to dry between waterings.
Fertilization:
Fertilize lightly every 6-8 weeks with low-nitrogen fertilizer (5-10-10). Harvest regularly for best growth.
Other Tips
Harvest often to promote bushy growth.
Cut back stems after flowering to maintain flavor and shape.
While not as aggressive as the mint family, consider planting in pots to prevent oregano from taking over your garden.
