Origanum
A beautiful blooming addition to herb gardens and rocky areas, this shrubby perennial herb is grown mostly for its pretty flowers which appear late in the season. Maroon purple buds open to dense clusters of tiny, rosy pink flowers at the tips of the unbranched stems lined with dark green, aromatic foliage.
Ornamental chains of green bracts flushed rose pink protect the tiny lavender pink flowers of this decorative herb. It's one people love to reach out and touch, making it great for children's gardens. Silvery green, rounded leaves line the trailing stems. Use as a spiller in containers or trailing plant along ledges.
