An ornamental Oregano that makes a fabulous patio plant. Bracts of hop-like, pink flowers cover the aromatic foliage throughout summer. Bellissimo forms a spreading mound of foliage that makes excellent ground cover for hot sunny borders, rockeries or spilling from patio containers. This low growing perennial is extremely drought tolerant once established. Although reasonably hardy, it can be affected by cold, wet conditions in winter. Offer some protection during winter, or move containers to a cold greenhouse. Height and spread: 16″. Photo courtesy of Van Meuwen.
