Ornamental Oregano |

One of several ornamental Oreganos now becoming available in North America. This German selection features large clusters of mauve-pink flowers in late summer and fall, over a low trailing mound of green foliage. Plants are great for edging, or in tubs and mixed containers. Very useful in the sunny border also, weaving in and around other neighbouring plants. May be easily divided in early spring. Drought tolerant, once established. Attractive to butterflies.
