Description

An herbaceous perennial not reliably winter hardy in our area. It should be grown in a protected location with a winter mulch. Although the foliage is aromatic, it is not of the pungency and quality expected for culinary oreganos and is usually not used in cooking. Unusually pretty!

Height: 0.5-0.75 ft.
Spread: 0.75-1 ft.
Family: Lamiaceae
Bloom time: June to September
Sun: full sun
Water: dry to medium
Deer resistant
