Oregano 'Bristol Cross'

Origanum laevigatum x rotundifolium
The oregano' Bristol Cross' is beautiful. Its burgundy stems highlight the fragrant sage green leaves and clustered tiny lavender violet flowers. Overlapping violet bracts create a smooth, corded look to the prolific blooms, and it maintains a picture-perfect look all season long; it is now our "go-to" plant in clay pots for the sunny patio.
