Plant of the Day

Monday 2 December 2019

The seed heads of the British native Origanum vulgare (oregano, wild marjoram) seem to create a steely-grey foam over this dry meadow planting. This woody-based perennial is a drought-tolerant plant and has been combined with species from steppes, prairies and grassy plains around the world. Many of the plants were established from a seed mix which was directly sown in-situ over a base layer of free-draining sand.
