Origanum laevigatum is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae,[1] native to Cyprus, Syria, and Turkey.[2] Growing to 50–60 cm (20–24 in) tall by 45 cm (18 in) wide, it is a woody-based perennial, with strongly aromatic leaves, and loose clusters of pink funnel-shaped flowers with persistent purple bracts, throughout the summer.[3]
This plant is used as a culinary herb, as an ornamental plant in herb gardens, and as groundcover in sunny, well-drained situations. It tolerates poor soil, but dislikes winter wetness. The species,[4] and the cultivars ‘Rosenkuppel’[5] and 'Herrenhausen'[6] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[7]
