  • 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.

Watering Water regularly after planting until the roots are established. Once settled in, the plant is relatively drought tolerant and usually only needs extra water during prolonged dry spells. Plants grown in containers will need more frequent watering than those growing in the ground.

Best Growing Conditions Grow in partial shade to gentle sun in fertile, well-drained loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.

Top tip

Harvest little and often to encourage fresh, bushy growth rather than allowing the plant to become overly woody or congested. Good drainage is especially important, so avoid leaving the roots sitting in persistently wet or compacted soil.
