Oreganum laevigatum
Hopleys Purple is a pleasant addition to the perennial bed. This
Oregano flowers for a long time, late Spring through Fall, and unlike the
culinary varieties it doesn't run amok. Oreganum Hopleys Purple can
grow from 18-24" tall and spreads a few inches a year in each
direction. I prune these back to near the ground as the flowers fade
and completely in mid-winter. The leaves of this ornamental oregano
are fragrant. Oreganum Hopley's Purple is hardy to 0 degrees F.
