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.

General Growing Tips For Your Seedling Tray
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.
Flowering
Rose-pink flowers bloom from late spring through summer.
Pinching
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Spacing
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.
Height Control
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.
Pests
This ornamental variety of Oregano isn't prone to pests.
Disease
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.
Planting Oregano Ornamental Kirigami Liners
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.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

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.
Planting Oregano Ornamental Kirigami Liners
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.

Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
