Origanum 'Rosenkuppel'

Oregano-Ornamental

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.
