Origanum vulgare 'Hot n Spicy' (Pot Size 1L) Oregano sold by Boma Garden Centre

Origanum vulgare ‘Hot n Spicy’ combines classic oregano flavour with a fiery jalapeño-like kick, intensifying as leaves mature. This evergreen Mediterranean herb thrives in full sun with free-draining soil and once established becomes remarkably drought tolerant. Growing to about 30–40cm tall with a 60cm spread, it forms a bushy low-growing habit with small round leaves and produces attractive pink and white flowers that bloom throughout summer. The delicate flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making it an excellent addition to pollinator-friendly gardens. This is a fully hardy oregano, reliably frost resistant throughout the UK and thrives in poor soils where other plants struggle. The aromatic leaves work wonderfully in pasta dishes, pizzas, salsa, chilli and Mexican cooking, or steeped in oil and vinegar for drizzling over salads.
