Poliomintha longiflora (Mexican Oregano)

Mexican Oregano

Poliomintha longiflora

Semi-evergreen perennial with purple tubular flowers from early summer to fall. Peforms well in hot and dry Texas summers, blooming more profusely with regular pruning and if grown in full sun.

Foliage can be used in cooking - a bit more kick than regular Oregano.

No serious pest and disease issues, best grown in well draining soils and full sun.
