We have been noticing increasing interest in our perennial oreganos when they are in bloom, and this one is a perfect example of their ornamental value. Origanum x hybrida ‘Kirigami’ is a fantastic choice to add fun texture to flower beds, hanging baskets, and containers. This non-edible oregano produces interesting flowers in the form of large, purplish-green bracts–almost like hops–from spring into the fall. (Kirigami is a form of origami that involves cutting paper into decorative shapes–when you see the flowers, you’ll understand.) It is a low maintenance plant that is both heat and drought tolerant. Try out this beauty and see if your friends can guess what it is!
