Plant description
Slender stems are clothed in aromatic, purple-flushed foliage and terminate in clusters of tubular purple flowers with reddish-purple bracts in summer. A compact perennial, it looks wonderful softening the edges of a path. Sadly though this oregano is not an edible form.

How to care for Origanum Rosenkuppel:
Plant in well-drained, light soil in full sun, or good quality potting compost for pots, adding grit if needed for drainage. Water regularly until established, then only during prolonged dry spells. Trim after flowering to keep plants bushy and compact, and mulch or protect in colder regions over winter.
Divide every 3-4 years in spring to maintain vigour.
