Hopflower Oregano
Hopflower oregano is a perennial flower with trailing stems. The dangling chartreuse, hop-like bracts enclose tiny lavender flowers in the summer. Later the bracts dry to a soft brown color and rustle in the wind.
It is very attractive when planted in a spot where it can drape over a wall or boulder.
