Origanum ‘Bellissimo
Origanum 'Bellissimo' is an ornamental oregano with pendulous, purple-pink, hop-like flower heads.
Origanum ‘Bellissimo’ is a gorgeous ornamental oregano with cascades of large, hop-like, glowing pink flowers. A true beauty. The pendulous, clustered, rich purple-pink bracts deepen in colour with age as they reveal cute white to pink, tubular flowers. The green foliage is of similar shape to the flower bracts. Grows 6-8 inches tall by 18-24 inches wide. Easy to grow in average to dry, well-drained soils in full sun. Superior winter drainage is the key to overwintering success. Drought tolerant. Plant in borders, rock walls, hanging baskets, or containers.
