This ornamental oregano grows 2 feet tall, thrives in adverse situations, and continues to look beautiful. It is particularly attractive when planted with whites and pinks in the perennial garden, and it blooms from mid summer through fall. It makes an especially attractive ground cover and is a good selection for poor soils and for attracting beneficial insects. Fragrant foliage complements the ornamental flowers and bracts. It is a beautiful yet tough plant for heat and drought.
