KIRIGAMI

KIRIGAMI

Product Description:

Origanum x hybrida We love ornamental oregano in hanging baskets and mixed containers and are very pleased to offer Kirigami from seed. This cultivar produces exceptionally dense mounds of fragrant, light green foliage tipped with drooping, hop-like flowers. The unusual texture and mix of green flowers that blush to purple/ pink make for stunning displays all summer. Heat and drought tolerant plants reach 8–10 inches tall and spread 12–14 inches. Full sun and cool nights both encourage deeper purple coloration in the blooms. Hardy in zones 5 and above. Germination code: (4)

Transplants have done beautifully in a bed along a rock border

I bought these as transplants in the spring. They are trailing and have pretty color with light greens and pink shades. The deer have left them alone which is one of the biggest hurdles. I would and might buy more. I have them interspersed with columbine and with mixed plants near irises, delphinium, poppies, hollyhock. They are light and beautiful.

Epic Fail!

5 seeds in the packet, only 1 seed germinated then dropped died.
What a waste of $$

Sorry to hear that! That is definitely not the norm. We do test every lot of seed we sell and we will not sell it if it doesn't pass our germination standards (which are higher than prescribed by the Federal Seed Act). At Territorial, we stand behind our products with a full guarantee. We are committed to your satisfaction and want you to feel confident in your purchase. If anything you buy from Territorial falls short of your expectations, we will make it right by replacing the item (if available) or providing a refund, whichever you prefer (for up to one year from purchase). Feel free to contact our dedicated customer service at 800-626-0866 team (Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM Pacific Time) or info@territorialseed.com and we will gladly assist you.

Kirigami Oregano Transplant

I bought three Kirigami transplants in Spring of 2021, they arrived in wonderful condition. Even though in Southern Oregon this year we had an early HOT Spring and Summer they have mostly thrived in a new flower bed. They are so pretty, the little bracts remind me of the graphic of Celtic roses. The colors are greenish gray, spring green and with lovely, tiny rose flowers. One of the plants is having a bit of a rough time even though all three have been planted close to each other. Not sure why but I expect them to get through winter and to look wonderful by next Spring.

Germination Codes
Check the code at the end of the description for specific germination requirements.
(1) Germinates at temperatures between 60-75°F.
(2) Larger seeds need to be covered with soil at least as thick as the seed itself. May be slow and erratic to germinate.
(3) These seeds need a period of cold stratification for successful germination. Best results are obtained when the seeds are kept warm and moist for 2 weeks followed by temperatures of 33-35°F for 4-6 weeks or until germination starts.
(4) No special requirements, but germination may be slow and erratic.

Culture
• Fertile, well-drained soil provides the best results• Harvest and fertilize regularly to encourage vegetative growth
• Apply 1 cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer per 5 row feet, and 1 inch of compost
• For leafy herbs snip off flower buds as they appear

Transplanting
• Start seeds 6-8 weeks before anticipated transplant date
• Small seeds (thyme, savory, marjoram, oregano) can be gently pressed onto surface of the soil—don't cover or bury seed
• Fertilize with Age Old Grow every 10-14 days for optimum growth
• Small seedlings such as thyme, savory and sweet marjoram may be successfully transplanted in small clumps
• Hardy herbs can be transplanted after the last frost
• Transplant tender herbs after last frost when weather has stabilized

Harvest & Storage
• Fresh use: Harvest only as needed
• Drying: Harvest at peak maturity, hang small bunches from ceiling in a dry, warm (80-90°F), dark location with good ventilation for 1-2 weeks
• Distilling: Harvest when blooms are just beginning to appear; at this point the leaves contain the highest level of essential oils
