Get ready to add a splash of color and charm to your landscape with 'Drops of Jupiter'! This ornamental oregano is the perfect blend of beauty and versatility. When basking in full sun, its vibrant chartreuse-yellow leaves steal the spotlight, bringing a cheerful pop of color to any garden. As summer fades into fall, stunning mauve pink flowers emerge, perched atop purple calyxes, which linger long after the blooms have faded—keeping your garden looking fabulous well into the cooler months.
Though it's a cousin of the culinary oregano, 'Drops of Jupiter' is all about garden glam, not kitchen spice. While its leaves are edible, their flavor is more delicate, making it ideal for adding a mild herbal touch to dishes without overpowering them. A true showstopper with its lovely foliage and lasting beauty, 'Drops of Jupiter' will brighten your garden, all while being low-maintenance and eye-catching. Let this herb shine in your landscape!

Our perennial plants are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage and blooms are browning and dying back—this is completely normal! We give the plants a hard trim in our greenhouse to support them as they conserve energy for the next growing season. Rest assured, your perennials will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!
Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners® Continuous Release Fertilizer in spring. Shearing back plants will encourage new growth, but is not necessary.
