Honest review: Oregano is rewarding but bolting in hot dry weather especially with cilantro is real

Oregano is a genuinely satisfying plant to grow, but I want to be upfront about one thing: bolting in hot dry weather especially with cilantro. I've dealt with it twice now and it takes consistent attention to manage.

Beyond that, attractive to bees and other pollinators when in flower makes it one of my favourites in the collection. I keep it in an ornamental potager kitchen garden which suits it well. Learning about dividing clumping herbs like chives every two or three years has been essential. peak harvest productivity through summer is worth waiting for — the plant really justifies itself then. Four stars because of that persistent issue.
