Notes
'Drops of Jupiter' oregano (Origanum 'Drops of Jupiter') is an herb for borders, containers, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy soil. Pink flowers with purple sepals open in early to late summer and again in early autumn. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The flowers draw butterflies and bees, and the foliage is fragrant.
Pairs well with Cheddar pink, Heath aster, and Sage.
