Origanum ‘Kent Beauty’ is an ornamental oregano known for its pendulous pale green to purplish pink bracts, forming delicate and decorative clusters.
Unlike culinary oreganos, it is primarily cultivated for its ornamental appeal. Small, purplish-pink tubular flowers subtly emerge between the bracts.
Its habit is compact and slightly trailing, perfect for hanging baskets, rock walls, and well-drained borders.
Attracts pollinators.
