Slow start but a stunning finish with Oregano

The first few months with Oregano were underwhelming. Almost no visible growth and I questioned my decision repeatedly. Then something shifted — I think getting planting in free-draining soil in the sunniest spot right was the turning point.

fast growing from seed or small plug plant became apparent once the plant found its stride, and it's genuinely impressive. Displayed in a terracotta pot collection on a sunny patio it gets the attention it deserves. overwintering woody perennials like rosemary with minimal protection was the moment it stopped being a project and became a pleasure. One thing to keep on top of: root rot from overwatering in poorly drained pots. Everything else takes care of itself once the basics are solid.
