Once the plants are 4 to 5 inches tall, you can begin harvesting. Most people wait to harvest their oregano until right before it flowers in late spring when the flavor is at its peak. Then they cut it to the ground. New growth should start to appear in a couple of weeks.
What does it mean when oregano starts flowering?
When oregano plants flower it means that the plants have reached maturity and they're ready to produce seeds. You can remove the flowers to prevent the plants going to seed too quickly or allow the plants to bloom and enjoy the beautiful flowers in your garden.
Can I harvest oregano after it flowers?
The best time to harvest oregano is right before it flowers, just as the flower buds are starting to form. You can still harvest either before or after this stage, but this is when the leaves will have their best and most intense flavor.
