Hopley’s Oregano
Origanum laevigatum 'Hopley’s'X4315-250
(Purple marjoram) A very attractive oregano from England with dark purple-green leaves and purple flowers in summer and fall. It has a low semi-creeping habit but the flower stalks can rise up to 60cm/2ft high. The mildly spicy scent is almost costmary-like, and the leaves can be used in potpourris and in cooking. Does well in dry sunny places, and bees and butterflies are drawn to it.
