Gardeners Dream

Oregano 'Hot 'n' Spicy' is a distinct and potent cultivar cultivated primarily for the intense, tongue-tingling heat found in its aromatic leaves. This fiery flavour, which combines the traditional savoury notes of oregano with a sharp, peppery kick similar to mild chili, is released instantly when the foliage is consumed fresh or dried. It is traditionally used to add depth and bite to Mexican and Southern Italian dishes, particularly salsas, chili con carne, and spicy marinades where a little extra heat is desired. This plant is typically grown as a spreading, hardy perennial that forms a lush mound of rounded, green foliage. It is generally cold-tolerant, though it may die back in harsh winters and re-emerge in spring. For the best results and the most pungent "spicy" oils, plant it in a location with full sun. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and thrives in poor, gritty, and free-draining soil, as rich or damp soil will dilute its signature fiery taste.
