The bold flavors of Hot & Spicy Oregano live up to its name. This easy-to-care-for flavorful perennial herb is a must-have for any culinary garden. Hot & Spicy dark green leaves remain attractive all season long. Its heavily branching habit grows into a round mini shrub, and pests and critters are not interested in this spicy herb. Hot & Spicy Oregano has an intense hot flavor and is the perfect choice to add a fiery kick to any dish.  

Hot & Spicy Oregano Care  

Hot & Spicy Oregano thrives when planted in full sun when temperatures are at or above 70 degrees F. It's fairly drought tolerant and prefers drier, well-draining soil versus sitting in damp soil, which could cause root rot. When blooms appear in the summer, it's time to cut back the foliage, which is also a great time to dry the herb and use it in your favorite recipes. 

Growing Hot & Spicy Oregano 

Hot & Spicy Oregano grows to 24-30 inches in height with the same spread and is considered a perennial herb when planted in USDA Hardiness Zones 5-8. It thrives when planted in a full sun location in light, well-drained soils amended with plenty of organic matter such as garden compost, shredded leaves, or manure to add nutrients, improve drainage and encourage healthy microorganisms. Apply a thin layer of organic mulch over plantings to reduce weeds and retain soil moisture. Allow soil to dry in between waterings.  

Hot & Spicy Oregano can easily be grown in containers. Check and water more frequently because plants can dry out more quickly when grown in pots. Hot & Spicy Oregano can be brought indoors starting in late fall and placed near a sunny window for a continuous harvest. 

Watering Hot & Spicy Oregano 

Allow soil to dry out in between waterings. Doing a thorough deep soak once the soil is dried out will encourage the plant's roots to grow deeper into the ground, setting the stage for a sturdy plant. 

Feeding Hot & Spicy Oregano 

Fertilizing Hot & Spicy Oregano isn’t necessary if it's planted in rich organic soil. Apply a thin layer of organic mulch as a top-dressing in spring. As the mulch naturally breaks down over time, it will supply plants with important nutrients and also improve soil structure.
