Origanum ‘Barbara Tingey’ – round-leaved oregano – Lamiaceae

Class notes: Months of long blooming; bracts offer endless colour, as the blooms poke out at the end. Completely herbaceous. Bumble bees love this plant.

Site/notes: Full sun, average water (don’t over water). 6 inches high, 6-12 wide. Late summer, early fall bloom time. Pink/mauve flowers. Zone 7-10.

Aesthetics/Notes: Beautiful flower bracts, they’re quite showy. I think this would add interest to an alpine/rock garden. Good for being viewed up close and far away.
