Oregano, Kent Beauty
Annual
Kent Beauty oregano is grown in the herb garden mainly as an ornamental. It has a beautiful trailing habit that lends itself well to hanging baskets, planters, and garden walls. The blue-green leaves are oval shaped and silver-veined. The pink bracted, hop-like flowers cover the plant from summer through fall and are the main attraction. They can be used fresh or dried in flower arrangements. The aroma is milder than culinary oregano, but still very nice. Tender perennial, but can be brought in for the winter, then cut back before setting outside in the spring.
