Origanum
'Dingle Fairy'
oregano
Origanum 'Dingle Fairy' is a charming little herb that brings both colour and fragrance to the garden with minimal effort. Reaching up to 30cm in height, this variety offers aromatic, bright green leaves that provide a fresh, herbal backdrop to its delicate blooms. The flowers themselves are a soft pink, and are held in papery light green to mauve-coloured bracts that give the plant a unique, almost whimsical appearance. Whether planted in a herb garden, border, or container, Origanum 'Dingle Fairy' adds a soft, fairy-tale charm to any space.
This low-growing, easy-care perennial thrives in well-drained soil and a sunny spot, making it an excellent addition to low-maintenance gardens. Its soft pink flowers and distinctive hanging bracts not only brighten up your garden but also attract pollinators, making it a great choice for a wildlife-friendly space. Origanum 'Dingle Fairy' is perfect for filling in gaps, adding a touch of texture, or creating an aromatic edge in your garden. With its compact size, bright leaves, and whimsical flowers, this herb brings both beauty and practicality, making it a must-have for gardeners looking to add a touch of magic with minimal fuss.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
