Origanum
‘Showy Dittany’
at Digging Dog
Oregano
The Greeks called this ancient herb oros ganos, meaning “joy of the mountain,” and legend has it that Aphrodite created the sweet, spicy scent of its leaves as a symbol of happiness. A sun-loving genus hailing from the Mediterranean, Origanums display small, tubular, whorled flowers often arranged in showy overlapping bracts, and prefer well drained soil. Origanum ‘Showy Dittany’ 
Endless quantities of pendant green and rosy hued bracts nearly encase this treasured Origanum’s tiny pink flowers, while pairs of round, felted, gray-green leaves attire the trailing reddish stems. With a diminutive demeanor that
defies its stalwart nature, ‘Showy Dittany’ begs for sharp draining soil and merits an elevated position beside Lavandula ‘Ana Luisa’.
Blooms August–October. Size: 12" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 8. Origanum Showy Dittany (P-1221)
Each $6.50
