USDA Hardiness Planting Zones

To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.

If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

Details

Bee Bonanza Ornamental Oregano Collection is a medley of hardy, bee-favorite, easy-care perennials that will add fragrance and unusual forms to the garden from summer through fall. Origanum ‘Bristol Cross’ is a 6-inch-tall upright groundcover type oregano that is perfect in rock gardens, borders, and containers. Its unusual, hop-like flower bracts are magenta-purple with tiny bright pink flowers peeking out. Blooming from summer into fall, its flowers dry beautifully, deepening in color. Origanum libanoticum, commonly known as cascading ornamental oregano, does just that. Cascades of big pendulous paper lantern-like bracts are each adorned with small rose-pink flowers. At 12-18 inches tall, it’s a perfect choice for borders and containers where it can cascade over edges. Lastly, Thanksgiving ornamental oregano (Origanum x ‘Erntedank’) is an upright grower at 14-16 inches tall. With lilac-pink flowers and rose bracts, It’s a lovely companion for late summer flowers such as aster, Echinacea, and lavender. Plant them all together and you will have a drought-tolerant pollinator garden. Or place them throughout the garden and enjoy the light scent, form, and color as they enhance your summer to fall garden. Plant them in average, well-drained soil in a sunny location. Water the first season, once established they prefer drier soil. (Size varies from 6-18" x 12-18" wide) The Bee Bonanza Ornamental Oregano Collection includes 9 plants: Origanum x ‘Bristol Cross’ – 3 plants Origanum libanoticum – 3 plants Origanum x ‘Erntedank’ – 3 plants *Plants are subject to change due to availability. If we make substitutions, we feature plants with similar attributes suitable to the collection.

Planting Guides

Planting and Caring for Pre-Planned Gardens & Collections

Soil Preparation: Remember that proper soil preparation is the key to healthy, vigorous blooming perennials. Use Yum Yum Mix and a high quality compost at recommended rates to prepare the soil. Inoculate the plant roots with Plant Success mycorrhizal inoculant. Planting: Plant according to the mature size of the plant. Don’t be tempted to put the plants too close based on their size in the pots. They’ll need the space to grow and fill in the expected area.

Fertilizing: Once annually in mid-fall, after plants begin to go dormant. Use Yum Yum Mix or Yum Yum Mix Winterizer at recommended rates to improve the soil and provide essential plant nutrients.Use it with high quality compost, mix half and half by volume and spread on top of the soil. Scratch it in lightly and water thoroughly. It is also beneficial to treat the plant roots with Plant Success® mycorrhizal root inoculant if you didn’t do so at planting time. (Inoculation only needs to be done once.)

Mulching: In arid climates mulching is very beneficial. Coarse textured composts, shredded leaves, pine needles and composted bark are all excellent mulch materials. Apply to a depth of 1-2 inches. Replenish annually (or as needed).
