This Bonnie Hot and Spicy Oregano plant should be in your herb garden if you love savory flavor and heat. It lives up to its name blending the heat of a mild Chile pepper with the pungent aroma and flavor of traditional Oregano; also consider drying your harvest to stock the spice rack. Enjoy it in chili, salsa and in tomato sauces. Harvest anytime, but especially as the stems begin to get tall and are getting ready to flower - that is when the leaves are the most flavorful. Cut it back several times during the growing season to harvest the leaves from the stems. Plants like to spread and sprawl, making a good choice for the edge of a bed or container. Plant arrives in a biodegradable pot with a well-established root system and hardened off for easy transplanting in the garden.
