Question

Hi 🙂
How many of these oregano plants can I put in a large planter? I’ve found information that says to space them up to 10 inches apart in the ground, and if that’s true, then 3 plants in a large planter would be too crowded, yes?

Not really too crowded, they will simply shoulder out and fill the space. Oregano has 2 growing phases–one where the plant creeps and makes a gentle mound, 2 where it goes up to flower and bract (the main/best part used as a spice). So if 3 plants are put in a large planter, they should first cover the surface of the planter, perhaps droop over the edges a bit, then go up to flower. They will be happy. r

Hi George,
If you have plenty of space, 2 feet apart. If you are tight on space, 1 foot apart.
