Notes
'Kirigami' oregano (Origanum 'Kirigami') is an herb for borders, rock gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The plant is fragrant and tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Hidcote lavender, Sea holly, and Pink Chintz mother of thyme.
