• PATIO POTS - Oregano has an abundance of dark green, gorgeously aromatic and very slightly hairy leaves that in summer to form a gentle undulation but lie lower throughout winter. The summer also sees clusters of tiny, tubular mauve flowers which transform it into a plant worthy of any border or to grow in decorative pots on a terrace.

• AMAZING FLAVOUR - The flavour of the leaves in this country is less pungent than when it grows wild in the Mediterranean from where it originated. Our summers are just not hot enough to achieve that but nonetheless it adds heft and depth to any Mediterranean cooking.

• EASY TO CARE FOR - An accommodating plant, it requires the minimum of watering once established and if you grow it in pots, just give it a liquid feed of fertiliser after flowering. Also, trim it at the same time to stop the plant becoming leggy.

• WHAT YOU GET - This listing is for one plant that is ready to plant straight in a 9cm or 14cm pot.
