Ornamental Origanum
- Oregano Kent Beauty is a live ornamental semi evergreen trailing Origanum subshrub. This low growing aromatic outdoor perennial shrub in a 10.5cm growing pot, produces pink and apple green round leaved bracts that resemble hops. During July to September dainty lilac pink flowers appear.
- This clump forming plant is excellent for growing in beds, borders, and rock gardens. It is also ideal for growing on top of a wall or in hanging baskets, where it will trail downwards. Its delightful colourful bracts can be cut when in full bloom and used in fresh flower arrangements or hung upside down and allowed to dry, to be used in dried floral arrangements or in craft projects.
