Roundleaf oregano is grown for the ornamental drooping clusters of bracts that surround tiny inconspicuous rosy-pink flowers. The bracts of 'Kirigami' are apple green flushed with red-violet and are produced abundantly. Native to Turkey and southwest Asia, in its native habitat, this species grows in rocky crevices with good drainage. After being established, they can take heat and drought. They are suitable for hanging baskets and can be dried for flower arrangements, although the stems are rather short. The round, fragrant cleaves clasp the stems and are blue-green.
