How to Plant Oregano from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Indoors: Start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
  • Outdoors: Sow directly in the garden after the last frost.

Preparing for Planting

  1. Choose a well-lit, warm location.
  2. Use well-draining soil mixed with sand or compost.
  3. Ensure a soil temperature of 65-75°F for optimal germination.

Direct Sowing Outdoors

  1. Prepare garden soil by loosening it with a rake.
  2. Sprinkle seeds on the surface and press gently into the soil.
  3. Keep soil lightly moist until germination.
  4. Once seedlings appear, thin plants to 8-12 inches apart.

Sowing Seeds Indoors

  1. Fill seed trays with moist, well-draining potting mix.
  2. Sprinkle seeds lightly on the surface—do not bury them, as they require light to germinate.
  3. Gently press seeds into the soil and mist with water.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap to maintain humidity.
  5. Keep trays in a warm, sunny location or under grow lights.
  6. Germination occurs in 7-14 days.
  7. Once seedlings develop two sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors.

Pro Tip

Oregano thrives on neglect—plant it in well-draining soil and go easy on the water for the most flavorful leaves. Regularly trim the stems to encourage bushy growth, and harvest just before flowering for the best taste.

Bonus: Drying oregano intensifies its flavor!
