Greek Oregano is widely regarded as having the most delicious taste of all the other varieties of oregano. The growth habit and leaf size might vary, but the height is typically between 50 and 60 centimetres. Nonetheless, the plant stems can get somewhat woody, and the leaves, which are oval and dark green and sometimes fuzzy, are arranged in opposing pairs. The flower stalks are spiny and can have many colours, including pink, white, and purple. The most common uses for it in Greek cookery are to make flavourful sauces and to season meats, fish, and vegetables. Oregano can thrive in almost any environment; you do not require a garden to cultivate it. May be planted in containers outside on the patio or indoors on a windowsill.
Very attractive to bees and butterflies.

Seeds germinated within a week of sewing. Very pleased with the quality. The shop is lovely to navigate, prices are very reasonable and overall service is 100%.
I am definitely a satisfied customer and have been back and bought more seeds
I have ordered many seeds from this website, the delivery is reasonable and so are the seeds. I get fantastic germination and am no expert. I have tried other seed companies and nothing compares. This is a very safe bet and one that you won’t regret.
Completely a beginner but they have germinated after a couple of days and seedlings seem to be coming along nicely, very healthy and happy little plants … seeds came in addition to sow a long package and all beautifully presented … will be a repeat customer
I’ve made 3 orders with bishy barnabees cottage garden so far (spending between £20-30 each time) and every time the seeds have been dispatched quickly. For a small business getting my order within a week is excellent! Ive had amazing rate of germination on every species of seed I’ve sown. The young plants are all healthy and look likely to become healthy adult plants by summer. I’ve interacted with the owner on social media too and can honestly say she’s lovely!
Last year I grew lots of fantastic corncockle, but this will be the first time I've tried Bianca.
There's always so many amazing seeds/flowers to choose from at Bishybarnabees Cottage Garden. Delivered swiftly and hugely successful germination 🌱🥰🌱
Sowed the Dahlia Seeds last week - (in a suitable Pot on the Kitchen Window Sill - which serves as my greenhouse) the sturdy little Dahlia seeds were through in two days and are looking very healthy and happy! Obviously very fresh seeds in the packet.
The Sanctuary wax melts have a lovely spa fragrance that lasts for ages. Loved them so much I ordered more. I haven't tried the lemon and ginger yet. Excellent quality and service.
Beautifully packaged & illustrated. Will be planted next year and I’m confident they will germinate easily as Bishy Barnabee’s Cottage Garden Seeds are reliable.
Beautifully packaged seeds, arrived quickly and although I bought them late (early Nov) I planted them straight away and had germination in days. They are really strong healthy seedlings now. Many thanks x
First time grower of Zinnias this year and not disappointed these seeds were amazing hence why I have ordered again ready for next year.
Always arrive in quick time and regular updates on delivery.
