Origanum ‘Santa Cruz’
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 ‘Santa Cruz’ 
Antique-toned, dusty rose-colored, Hop-like flowers, much larger than those of ‘Ed Carmen’, are offset by bright green calyxes and pile up all summer on bran-ched red stems. For a pleasing fusion of color, try it with Penstemon ‘Blackbird’ and Muhlenbergia capillaris.
Blooms July–September. Size: 18"–2' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 5. Origanum ‘Santa Cruz’ (p-0709)
