Description

Lavandula multifida ‘Oregano’
OREGANO SCENTED LAVENDER
Lavandula multifida ‘Oregano’ is a delightful Lavender with an unusual form and delightful scents.

Delightful scent in foliage & flowers
The velvety, ferny foliage has a delicious scent of fresh Oregano, while the trident flower heads are sweetly scented.

Unusual trident flowers on tall stems
All of the Lavandula multifida family boast unusual three pronged trident flowers, that wave in the breeze on long, slender, woolly grey stems.
But this ‘Oregano’ form is particularly lovely with soft blue-violet tridents that show so well against the grey-green colour of the ferny, downy foliage.

Ferny, velvety foliage
Lavandula multifida is often commonly known as “Fern Leaf Lavender” for obvious reason.
The ferny leaves form a low, dense mound of evergreen (and of course delightfully scented) foliage of approx. 30cm in height.
Then the trident flowers float far above on long, woolly stems up to approx. 80cm. high.
Lavandula multifida ‘Oregano’ is an altogether elegant plant.

Flowers & foliage excellent for cutting & drying
Both the flowers and foliage of Oregano Scented Lavender are excellent to cut and dry for pot-pourri, lavender sachets and insect-repelling wardrobe protectors.
Both blooms and leaves last well and hold their rich colour and intense perfume for a very long time.
So cut a bunch, then hung upside down to dry, and perfume your cupboards and drawers for months. Plus help to repel moths and insects.

Ideal for modern gardens
Lavandula multifida ‘Oregano’ has all the conveniences for modern gardening.
Because it is a naturally compact and rounded grower, making the most of smaller spaces and great value featured in a pot.

Heat & Drought hardy
Oregano Scented Lavender relishes a position in Full Sun, where it can really give off it’s wonderful scent.
It will tolerate acid soil, but really thrives in alkaline soils.
So make sure you treat it with a handful of lime twice a year.
