Origanum rotundifolium "Kent Beauty"



It took me few years to find this plant It is just an oregano but what a beautiful oregano it is. . Origanum is a low growing, spreading plant, and looks like a mini shrub.Papery pink brackets are shaped somewhat like the flower of the hope plant .Colors change from pink to mauve, to almost purple. It is drought tolerant, and to much water or moist soil we kill it.
Perfect plant for the rockery, rock walls and hot sunny places.
