Origanum vulgare ‘Thumble’s Variety’
Golden Oregano |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.400.980
One of several ornamental Oreganos now becoming available in North America. This selection features large clusters of white flowers in midsummer, over a bushy mound of chartreuse-yellow foliage. Plants are great for edging, or in tubs and mixed containers. Since this is a form of Common Oregano, the leaves are fragrant and may be used in cooking. Clip plants back hard in June to maintain a low, creeping habit. Clumps can be easily divided in early spring. Drought tolerant, once established. Attractive to butterflies.
