Grow Origanum 'Hot & Spicy' (Oregano 'Hot & Spicy') for bold, aromatic flavor and an easy-care herb that also looks good in the garden. You will get a vigorous, mounding plant with spicy, pungent leaves you can harvest fresh or dry for later use.

Give it full sun for the strongest growth and best flavor, and plant it in well-drained soil. This oregano is happiest on the drier side once established, so avoid sites that stay wet or heavy, waterlogged ground. If you are growing it in a container, make sure the pot drains freely and let the top of the soil dry slightly between waterings.

Mature plants typically form a dense clump about 24-30 inches tall, with a similar spread. In summer, it can bloom with small pink-purple to white flowers held above the foliage. The flowers can attract butterflies and other pollinators, while the foliage stays fragrant and useful for the kitchen.

Use it along sunny borders, in herb gardens, rock gardens, and mixed plantings where you want a tough, aromatic perennial. Harvest regularly to encourage fresh leafy growth, and trim back as needed to keep plants tidy, especially before heavy flowering.
