Here is a “beauty” of a plant that everyone should grow.
It is called Kent Beauty Oregano (Origanum ‘Kent Beauty’). It is NOT an oregano that you eat. It is just one to look at, admire and impress your friends with. We all need a few plants like that, don’t we?
Like all oregano plants, Kent Beauty likes full sun. If you live in an area where you can grow regular oregano, you should be able to grow Kent Beauty as well. You can grow it as a short mounding plant toward the front of your border or in a container. Personally, I think it looks best in a container — especially a hanging basket. It just looks so intriguing trailing down over the side. It has these beautiful rose colored bracts that droop around the edges. They almost look like hops, don’t they? 
Kent Beauty also looks incredible as a cut flower. Place it in a vase with taller flowers in the center. No one will know what it is.

hello, I cam across Kent Beauty on the web but no luck in nurseries anywhere in italy. i started looking for seeds on line and no luck either. You wouldn’t happen to know where I can find seeds or do you sell any yourself? I would be so grateful for any help.

Claudia…..from what I am reading the Origanum does not have seeds. You will have to buy a plant or find a friend who will divide theirs and share with you.
