Trial: Perennial

Good Qualities

Year 1

As with the mountain mint, these plants looked dead upon arrival but were planted anyway, they just never came out of it; Long vase life! Excellent filler with nice wiry stems but delicate looking blooms; Nice filler.

Year 2

Its a tough plant and the flowers are nice but for the foliage.

Problems

Year 1

Small plants, not good survival early, ones that survived did make good growth; Poor plant establishment; New field and lots of rain caused excessive washout of some varieties before they were fully established; Origanum does not ship well as a bare root plant, must be propagated from root cuttings.

Year 2

All plants died.

Comments

Year 1

Similar to Origanum ‘Hopely’s Purple’; We used it strictly as fresh filler though I have used it dried in past and liked it.

Year 2

I’m not too excited about this one; It was floppy and the stems weren’t very thick; The plants were quite small when they arrived and so I think that these need another year to see what they will do; This plant does not ship well as a division – best as a rooted cutting in a cell tray.
