Kent Beauty Oregano
Origanum 'Kent Beauty'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: Trailing semi-evergreen perennial. Not reliably winter hardy. Grown primarily for ornamental and not culinary purposes. Bright green leaves are aromatic but not to the same degree as culinary oregano. Cascades of blushing pink hop-like flowers bloom beginning in June continuing into the early-fall. Drought and heat tolerant.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
