Description

Sometimes referred to as a Hop-Flowered Oregano due to the similarities between hops and the unusual, cone-like flowers on this plant, Origanum ‘Kent Beauty’ is a non-aggressive, waterwise groundcover. Beautiful trailing over a path edge or retaining wall – or a boulder in a rock garden – this deceptively tough perennial delights from late spring to early fall with dozens of soft-pink and green, bracted flowers that cascade over its foliage. Soft-green, round leaves arranged in pairs accent the rosy-colored flowers.

Best in a well-drained site, Kent Beauty Ornamental Oregano is not suitable for locations that sit wet in winter, so grow it in waterwise perennial beds, rock gardens, or rock-mulched parkway strips. Thanks to its herbal aroma, it is rarely attractive to deer or rabbits.

As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat.  The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.

Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds.
