Greek Kaliteri
Fragrant and vividly aromatic, Greek Kaliteri oregano fills the garden with a warm, sun-baked herbal perfume—bright, savory, and unmistakably Mediterranean. At maturity, the foliage forms a dense, upright mat of small, velvety leaves that dry beautifully for long-lasting intensity, while fresh sprigs deliver a lively herbal lift for everyday flavoring. A dependable 60-day performer for home gardeners, Greek Kaliteri is ideal for seasoning blends, herb-forward sauces, and pickling-style flavoring where bold oregano character shines.
