[4] Origanum libanoticum is prized for its attractive foliage but especially for its pink bracts and flowers; it blooms from summer to fall.

Overlapping pink to pale green hop-like bracts droop from the ends of wiry stems, hence the common name of hopflower oregano.

A regular watering schedule during the first growing season is necessary to establish the plants extensive root system.

The plant tolerates gritty, sandy loams but soil drainage is highly favorable for adequate growth.

O. libanoticum may be susceptible to root rot in badly drained soils and to spider mites and aphids.
