Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Hopflower oregano is a perennial flower with trailing stems. The dangling chartreuse, hop-like bracts enclose tiny lavender flowers in the summer. Later the bracts dry to a soft brown color and rustle in the wind.
This plant is very attractive when planted in a spot where it can drape over a wall or boulder.
This plant has been used in several different gardens at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. It is a beautiful plant when placed at the edge of a retaining wall or boulder where it can cascade downward. When grown in a flat area, it sometimes looks floppy.
Cut the old plant material to ground level in the spring before new growth starts.
