  • The perfect patio plant, this eye-catching, non-culinary oregano features large purple-green bracts, rose flowers and clear, light green foliage, with a delicious fragrance to attract pollinators.
  • Dense, mounded, slightly trailing plant has a tighter and fuller habit than standard vegetative varieties, so it holds better in shipping and on the retail bench.
  • Heat and drought tolerant, with an eye-catching display of texture from Spring until Autumn.
  • Also perfect for hanging baskets, or in borders and rock gardens; can also be dried for use in dried flower arrangements.
  • Higher light and cooler night temperatures accent the purple bract colour.
