Wild Zaatar Oregano
Wild Zaatar Oregano releases an unmistakably wild, sun-warmed aroma—peppery-citrus top notes with a deep, savory backbone that lingers on the palate. The leaves are small to medium and richly textured, forming a tidy, perennial mound of fragrant foliage that dries beautifully for pantry use and shines fresh as a bold, aromatic garnish. Grow Wild Zaatar Oregano for its intensely flavorful character in za’atar-style blends, herb-forward sauces, and quick infusions where its fragrance can truly take the lead.

Soil Temperature

Expert Note
Start indoors only if you want earlier harvests, but plan on a full sun, well-drained bed—oregano’s flavor and vigor peak in warm, dry conditions.
