Mystery Plant

Mystery plant alert!

This photo was brought to my attention on the floor of the Independent Garden Center show. The plant’s owner said the foliage was very much like a Spirea. Zone 5.

Mystery Plant

Have any ideas?

Big, loud and fun- Amanda Thomsen landscapes by day and blogs at night. Her blog, Kiss My Aster, on Horticulture magazine's website has alienated/enraptured dozens.She co-authors a blog called Plants That Suck that is about plants that suck.

MY GUESS IS OREGANO. IT MAKES A GREAT DRIED FLOWER TO USE IN ARRANGEMENTS.

My guess is an ornamental oregano, possibly Origanum vulgare ‘Herrenhausen’. It’s a great plant: prolific bloomer and great in heat and drought. Good edging perennial.

That looks like an ornamental oregano to me. My guess would be Origanum vulgare ‘Herrenhausen.’ A very prolific midsummer bloomer, and great in heat and drought.
