Oregano Ornamental Kirigami is an ornamental Oregano perennial. While not intended for culinary use, it offers aromatic foliage. This plant has a mounding habit of 8-10" tall and 12-14" wide with whorls of purple-green and light green leaves and rose-pink flowers in late spring through summer. Perennial in zone 5-8, this plant attracts pollinators, is drought tolerant, and resists deer and rabbits. The slightly trailing mounded shape is eye-catching in hanging baskets, landscape borders, and rock gardens. Oregano Ornamental Kirigami flourishes in full sun with minimal water, bringing depth and texture to the landscape. Try growing Oregano Greek Seedling Plugs in the herb garden for culinary applications.
Sell Oregano Ornamental Kirigami to customers looking for a low-maintenance perennial groundcover or an attractive, fragrant flowering plant for a xeriscape or patio container. Customers, bees, and butterflies love this ornamental Oregano's aromatic foliage and rose-pink blooms. This plant excels in full sun and drought, bringing color and texture to the landscape with almost no maintenance. Perennial in zone 5-8, this plant's striking foliage is a prize on the patio or in hanging baskets and rock gardens.

1. Space plants 14-18" apart in well-drained soil in full sun.
2. Water occasionally or more often in extreme heat and drought.
For best results with Oregano Ornamental Kirigami, use one seedling plug per 4-inch container or three to five per 10-inch basket. Summer finishing times are shorter than late spring finishing times. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8-6.5, EC of 1.2-15 mS/cm, temperatures of 65-68 daytime and 60-65 nighttime, and moderate feed (175-225 ppm N). Don't pinch but apply daminozide spray as needed until the bract color starts. Grow indoors to control moisture conditions; this plant is susceptible to botrytis, stem rot, and crown rot in overly wet environments. Use high light intensity and long days (14+ hours). High light and night temperatures below 50 degrees will intensify the purple bract color.
Rose-pink flowers bloom from late spring through summer.
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base and foliage of each plant. We recommend spacing 4-inch containers 6-8" on center and 10-inch containers 10-12" on center.
We recommend using proper cultural practices, including high light intensity, dry growing conditions, moderate feed, and long days, to encourage bushy growth. Additionally, sprays of daminozide at 1,500-2,000 ppm effectively control growth. Use PGRs at lower concentrations if applied several times. Stop using daminozide when the bracts begin developing color, or they will bleach.
This ornamental variety of Oregano isn't prone to pests.
Watch for signs of botrytis, stem rot, and crown rot among Oregano Ornamental Kirigami in your commercial greenhouse. Implement preventative measures as part of your Integrated Pest Management plan. Water at the base of each plant in the morning, allow the soil to dry between waterings, provide good airflow, and space plants so sunlight and air can reach the base of each container. Don't grow this plant outside unless you have relatively dry conditions. Wet conditions will lead to root and stem rot.
Root Rot occurs in poorly drained or overly wet soil, which becomes the host for several types of fungi. It causes stunted growth, wilting, and root system decay. Prevention is the best treatment, and you will avoid most root rot problems by using clean, well-draining media, appropriate containers, and good watering practices for finishing seedling plugs. Inspect plants for signs of disease regularly. Repot infected plants in well-draining soil, adjust your watering schedule, provide better airflow, and use a fungicide if needed. Rot can spread to the stems and crown as well.
Botrytis is a common fungal disease that causes brown spots on stems, leaves, and flowers. Remove and destroy affected plants, maintain appropriate humidity levels, and apply fungicides with boscalid, fenhexamid, or iprodione to control the spread. Water plants in the morning and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
We recommend planting one seedling plug per 4- or 6-inch container or three to five per 10-inch basket. Use well-drained soil and plant the plug at the same level as the growing media to prevent crown rot. Crops starting in late spring take two weeks longer on average to finish than crops starting in summer. Six-inch containers finish in 9-13 weeks.
