Origanum Sunnymeade

Common Name:
Ornamental Oregano 'Sunnymeade'

Description:
Origanum 'Sunnymeade' is an ornamental oregano cultivar prized for its delicate appearance and aromatic foliage. This compact perennial forms a wispy mound of soft green leaves, releasing a pleasant fragrance when brushed. From spring through autumn, it produces slender stems adorned with small, shrimp-like bracts in soft pink hues, adding a subtle yet charming display to garden beds and containers. Thriving in Melbourne's climate, 'Sunnymeade' prefers full sun and well-drained soils, exhibiting excellent drought tolerance once established. While primarily grown for its ornamental appeal, it also serves as a pollinator-friendly plant, attracting bees and butterflies to the garden. Minimal maintenance is required, with occasional deep watering during extended dry periods and a light trim to remove spent flowers and maintain its tidy form.
