About Oregano

Oregano is a pungent perennial herb that forms a low-growing, highly flavorful mat of small leaves. It requires exceptional soil drainage and full sun to synthesize its signature aromatic oils. In Lucknow, it thrives brilliantly in shallow terrace containers during the cooler winter months and needs light afternoon protection in intense summers.
