Growing the Herb Oregano. Oregano needs only a moderately fertile soil to thrive in, though drainage and friability are important. Plant outdoors 12 inches apart after all danger of frost has passed. Plants are easily started from seed, stem cuttings, or mature root division.
Examine the Greek oregano plants often to evaluate the growth cycle. Greek oregano begins to flower in July after reaching its maximum height of 6 to 8 inches. Choose a harvest day before the plant reaches the maximum size or begins to develop flower buds. Trace one stem at a time from the top of the stem to the bottom. Identify three sets of leaves on the bottom of the stem. Cut the stem directly above the third set of leaves. Save the trimmed stems. Repeat until all of the stems are trimmed. Trim the plans in the afternoon after the morning moisture is gone.
