Notes

'Buckland' oregano (Origanum 'Buckland') is an herb for borders, containers, rock gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and blooms from early to late summer. Bees and butterflies visit the fragrant plants, and the plant tolerates drought. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.

Pairs well with Hidcote lavender, Sea holly, and Pink Chintz mother of thyme.
