I built a mounded-up area in the front closer to the driveway for ornamental Oreganos. The rocks are mostly a red sandstone. The cascading Oreganos will be able to cascade over the edges of the rocks. Three varieties on the mound so far - libanoticum, 'Amythest Falls', and dictamnus. I have a couple more to go in as well. On the right you can see a couple plants of O. vulgare 'humile' behind the black tray. It is a short ground-cover and is supposed to work as a grass substitute even. I'm planting it adjacent to the flagstone along the drive and partway around the mound.
