Ornamental Oregano Seeds

Prized for its visual appeal, the ornamental oregano is a decorative plant that features colorful hop-like bracts and mounded foliage in a soft green to blue-green color. Similar to the culinary herb, it has aromatic leaves that release a subtle but distinct smell when brushed or rubbed against. It has a fragrance profile of spicy, minty and earthy notes. Harris Seeds offers ornamental oregano seeds for home and commercial growers, including the drought-tolerant and fine-textured Kirigami variety.

Ornamental Oregano Seeds

Ornamental oregano is an eye-catching, non-culinary herb that looks beautiful in hanging baskets and mixed containers. Showcase its elegant trailing habits on full display by allowing the purplish-pink bracts to cascade over the basket edges. Hang the oregano seeds in areas with direct sunlight for optimal growth, especially in cooler climates. It's also suitable for other gardening methods, such as borders and rock gardens.

This hardy perennial is low-maintenance and easy to grow. Its fragrance serves as a deterrent for common garden pests, such as deer and rabbits, but is well-loved by pollinators, including bees and butterflies.
