Description
L’Origan ‘Kirigami’ est une vivace ornementale, contrairement à la marjolaine du potager qui est annuelle. Dotée d'un port légèrement retombant et d'une floraison ravissante, cette variété florifère convient à l'ornement des jardinières, rocailles ou bordures ensoleillées. Son feuillage vert pâle, finement aromatique, forme un joli coussin surmonté de bractées vert chartreuse lavées de pourpre, enveloppant de délicates fleurs rose pâle. C'est une excellente plante de soleil et de terrain sec, tout en légèreté. On la sème au printemps.
L'Origanum rotundifolium 'Kirigami' appartient à la famille des Lamiacées. L'espèce type, Origanum rotundifolium, est originaire de Turquie, d'Arménie et de Géorgie, où elle pousse dans des crevasses rocheuses bien drainées. 'Kirigami' est un cultivar hybride sélectionné pour ses bractées florales plus décoratives, son port plus dense et plus "en coussin" ainsi que sa floraison plus généreuse. La plante atteint une hauteur de 20 à 30 cm et une envergure de 30 à 35 cm. Elle atteint sa taille adulte en 2 à 5 ans. Ses petites feuilles arrondies, d'un vert clair, aromatiques, sont caduques : elles sèchent en automne et réapparaissent au printemps. La floraison, qui s'étend de juin à octobre, prend la forme de petites fleurs rose pâle nichées dans des bractées pendantes rappelant des houppettes, de couleur vert pomme avec des nuances pourpres. Les fleurs sont discrètes, tandis que les bractées colorées persistent longtemps sur la plante. La pollinisation est principalement assurée par les abeilles et les papillons, attirés par le nectar. Après la floraison, la plante produit de petits fruits secs.
Les graines d'origan sont très fines : l'enrobage des semences, constitué d'une matière inerte (généralement à base d'argile), permet de semer les graines les plus fines avec facilité et précision.
L’Origan ‘Kirigami’ s'utilise aussi bien dans une jarre en terre cuite que dans le jardin, dans une rocaille, une bordure surélevée, au-dessus d'un muret, ou sur un talus. Cette petite plante gracieuse s’épanouit en cascades souples et colorées. On l’associera facilement à la floraison légère du Nepeta faassenii ‘Cat's Pajamas’, les inflorescences aériennes du Stipa pennata et la floraison rose tendre du Géranium vivace cinereum ‘Ballerina’. En potée, il forme de belles compositions avec des fleurs annuelles comme les Némésias et les Bacopa.

Planting and care
Oregano 'Kirigami' is sown from March to May at temperatures between 13 and 16°C. Germination typically takes 18 to 24 days.
Before sowing, place the seeds in damp sand in the refrigerator for two weeks to encourage germination.
Sowing is done in a tray filled with good sowing compost, placed in full light. The seeds are very lightly buried and just covered with a pinch of compost or vermiculite. The tray should not be covered, as Oregano dislikes humidity; keep the substrate moist but not waterlogged.
When the seedlings seem strong enough to handle, prick them out into pots and gradually acclimatise your young plants to cooler conditions.
Transplanting to the garden or into pots is done when the plants are well-developed; they can potentially spend their first winter in a cold frame.
Cultivation:
Oregano is a hardy and easy-to-grow plant in sunny positions, in any well-drained soil, even stony, sandy and poor soils. It is not bothered by limestone, but dislikes moisture. If your soil is rather damp and clayey, we recommend growing it in pots, in rockeries or on a small mound where it will thrive.
In pots, choose a terracotta container at least 30 cm in diameter, with drainage holes to prevent excess moisture. Use a mixture formed of two-thirds good garden soil and one-third coarse sand. Place the pot in a sunny spot, sheltered from strong winds. Water regularly during the first few weeks after planting, then reduce watering frequency once the plant is well established, ensuring the substrate dries out slightly between waterings.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
