Description
Origanum libanoticum (Hopflower Oregano) is truly a spectacular flowering plant that will generate lots of admiring comments from visitors to your garden. By midsummer, the wiry stems hold hundreds of pendulous paper lantern-like bracts, each adorned with small rose-pink flowers. Use Origanum libanoticum on the edges in raised beds or berms where it will show to best advantage. Plant into well-drained soils of moderate fertility (not too much compost). Other small growing plants like Dwarf Blue Lavender, Thymus necceffii or Veronica incana make fine companions. 18" tall x 18" wide. (cutting propagated).

This plant came very healthy
"This plant came very healthy and is doing great. Cascading Hopflower and Kent Beauty ornamental oregano were ordered. The labels were separated from the grower pot. How to tell which is which?"
great
"very hardy, nice sent, winrers over, useful and etable"
Succumbed to summer heat
"These plants did well and grew quickly. Unfortunately due to the heat this summer all have died, despite regular watering"
Always a Winner
"I've used this plant in several states. Great groundcover and the bees love it (and we all know how important they are. )"
Cool looking but dainty
"This arrived to tiny I thought there was not say it would survive to spring. In 100 degree heat this is hopping (lol) to life. My bracts only have 2 sections right now but they look super cool! Very dainty, would look better in a pot than in my garden in the ground. I will mulch around it to make the color pop."
Beautiful Flowers with lots of visual interest
"This plant is very hardy and was nearly evergreen in my yard over the winter in zone 7a. It came back vigorously and I expect it to be very showy again this summer. I planted it last spring and waited to review a year after planting. Friends and neighbors have purchased this plant for their own yard based on seeing it perform in my landscape."
Love it
"Adorable and very easy to grow"
Great quality plants
"Plants were well packaged, and arrived in great conditions. All plants had a substantial root system, and appear to be in perfect health. The size of plant was what I expected for the size of pot I ordered. I just planted them out last weekend, and I'm very optimistic these will be excellent in my garden!"
Show stopper once established
"I live at 7600 feet altitude in Ridgway, Colorado and was nervous about planting this amongst my sloping rock retaining walls. After one season, it took off and draped gorgeously down and around the rocks. After four or five seasons, it became a crawling bush and even more showy. The flowers are stunning and are the envy of my gardener friends. When first planted, they demand watering attention, after that, even in the high desert where I live and withstanding 20-30"" snow falls and well below zero temps throughout the winter, they continue to thrive. I planted more near my from entrance and sure wish High Country Gardens provided them in a larger pot size. Try it!"
Gorgeous
"After seeing this in my friend's garden and falling in love with it, I bought one plant from HCG and planted it in a medium size pot on my patio, along with another plant (from Lowe's or some other similar source), the latter intended to be the 'thrill' show-piece plant, the cascading oregano intended to be the 'spill' (sort of following the thrill-fill-spill potted plant approach). Well the thrill is gone (it died) but my HCG cascading oregano is doing fabulous 2 or 3 years later, luxurious and lovely. I found it does very well even with only 3 hours of sunlight (my patio has light limitations) and with average watering level. The bees love it."
