About Origanum libanoticum (Cascading Ornamental Oregano - origan)

Origanum libanoticum - Cascading Ornamental Oregano – origan - It is native to Lebanon. It is a species of oregano that is grown ornamentally for its attractive flowers and foliage and not for culinary purposes. It is sometimes commonly called ornamental oregano. It typically grows 10-15” high and to 18” or more wide. Overlapping pale green bracts flushed with pink droop from the ends of wiry stems. The bracts are the main attraction, with additional interest from the tiny rose-pink flowers poking out from under the bracts. Flowers bloom summer to fall. Flowered bracts are hop-like in appearance, hence the sometimes used common name of hopflower oregano for this species. Ovate, obtuse leaves to 1/2”. Although the foliage is aromatic, it is not of the pungency and quality expected for culinary oreganos. Family: Lamiaceae
