Origanum Oregano
Not just for the herb garden anymore, these Oreganos are so pretty it would be a shame to eat them, though you could, as you can tell by the fragrant foliage.
Origanum 'Kent Beauty is a fast-growing subshrub with rounded leaves. Just 4-6 in. tall, it spreads to 2 ft. In June, masses of small mauve flowers appear, surrounded by much larger light green to rose-pink bracts, which are the real show. Spectacular in hanging baskets or trailing over a wall. Needs sun and extremely well-drained, preferably soil. Blooms for weeks. Zone 5. Origanum 'Kent Beauty' 4" pot $4.00 Limit 3.
